Wyeast 5526 Brett Lambicus

WYEAST 5526 BRETT LAMBICUS is a wild yeast strain known for its distinctive sour and earthy flavor profile, often associated with traditional Lambic beers. Originating from Belgium, this strain contributes complex fruity and funky notes, typical of Brettanomyces fermentation, making it ideal for sour ales and specialty brews.

For optimal results, use WYEAST 5526 in combination with other yeast strains to enhance complexity, and ferment at cooler temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Consider extended aging in barrels or bottles to achieve desired sourness and character. Stirring the yeast periodically can also promote better diacetyl reduction.
