Shipping Notes:
The Sour Cherry Funk Strain
Blend of 3 Brett strains and Lactic Acid Bacteria This blend creates an amazing complex, sour beer with fruity cherry esters. Fermenting in the presence of 7-10 IBUs will cause the fermentation to complete much more quickly but will slow the souring — expect to wait 3-4 months for significant souring. Fermenting with zero or less than 5 IBUs will allow souring to happen much faster (within two weeks) but will cause the fermentation to take up to 4 weeks to complete.
Temperature Range†: 68ËšF – 80ËšF
* Attenuation was measured after 8 days with Ale yeast at 70ËšF and Lager yeast at 50ËšF. Medium Gravity is 14Ëš – 16ËšPlato. High Gravity is 23Ëš- 25ËšPlato.
† The working temperature range represents the range at which fermentation for a given strain produces a typical attenuation- not necessarily the ideal temperature for your particular beer style. As a rule of thumb, start ale yeast fermentation at 68Ëš – 72ËšF and then lower or raise temp as desired. Lager Yeast are typically fermented at 45Ëš – 58ËšF. If desired, Lager Yeast can be given a “hot start” at 65-68ËšF and then lowered to the primary temperature after active fermentation begins (10-20hrs).
