Wildbrew Philly Sour Dry Ale Yeast (Lallemand)

Price: $6.99
Price: $6.99

This first yeast in the WildBrew series is a great choice for innovative, sessionable sour beers with refreshing acidity and notes of stone fruit. WildBrew™ Philly Sour produces moderate amounts of lactic acid in addition to ethanol in one simple fermentation step.

With high attenuation, high flocculation and good head retention, WildBrew Philly Sour is an ideal yeast for traditional styles such as Berliner Weiss, Gose, American Lambic Styles and American Wild Ales, and its resistance to hops make it perfect for Sour IPA's.

Aroma and flavor is sour, red apple and stone fruit, notably peach. 

Dry pitching is the preferred method of inoculating wort. This method is simpler than rehydration and will give more consistent fermentation performance and reduce the risk of contamination. Simply sprinkle the yeast evenly on the surface of the wort in the fermenter as it is being filled. The motion of the wort filling the fermenter will aid in mixing the yeast into the wort.
