Beer Yeast, Starters & Nutrients

Wyeast | 3278 Belgian Lambic Blend | Beer Yeast | Activator Smack-Pack System™ | 100 Billion Cells

    Description

    • 3278 blend contains yeast and bacteria cultures important to the production of spontaneously fermented beers of the Lambic region
    • A Belgian style ale strain, a sherry strain, two Brettanomyces strains, a Lactobacillus culture, and a Pediococcus culture produce the desirable flavor components of these beers as they are brewed in Brussels
    • Activator Smack-Pack System™ "proofs" the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort
    • When smacked, the Activator™ packet releases sugars and nutrients to initiate the culture's metabolism
    • Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available
    • Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation

    This blend of yeast and bacteria comes from a Belgian Brewery and is maintained with a selection of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, which include Belgian-style wheat beer yeast, a sherry yeast, Brettanomyces Bruxellensis yeast, Brettomyces Lambicus yeast, Lactobacillus Delbruckii, and finally Pediococcus Cerevisiae. While amazingly complex, this mixture does not include all the possible cultures found in Belgian Lambics. However, it is representative of the organisms which are most important for the desirable flavor components of these beer styles.

    Attenuation: 70-80%
    Flocculation: Low - High
    Alcohol Tolerance: 11%
    Optimum Fermentation Temp: 63-75°F
    Cell Count: 100 Billion

    Styles:
    Flanders Red Ale
    Lambic
    Gueuze
    Mixed-Fermentation Sour Beer

    For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

    Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.
