FERMO BREW ACID

FERMO Brew Acid is a natural yeast strain that produces lactic acid and simultaneously initiates alcoholic fermentation. This is a novel, easily replicable process for any sour beer. FERMO Brew Acid produces a consistently “crisp” beer with a more reproducible souring process. FERMO Brew Acid is compatible with all conventional yeasts and common fermentation processes, making it ideal for the production of sour beers.

Aroma and flavor characteristics:

Sour beers are intentionally mouth-puckeringly acidic and tart and are made with wild bacteria and yeast. FERMO BREW ACID gives a rounded, refreshing acidity with all the layered taste complexity of a sour-style beer. Produces light levels of fruity floral esters, however, the key flavours are produced from the fruits and spices added during brewing.

Avoid contact with air. Do not freeze.

Once the packaging has been opened, the yeast should be used immediately.

AEB Brewing Yeast are tested to a high and rigorous standard and are only released to the market when all quality, safety and reliability parameters are met.

Use

It is generally recommended that active dry yeast is pitched directly into the wort without prior rehydration. If direct pitching is not feasible the yeast can be hydrated and pitched in liquid form. To rehydrate dissolve the dry yeast in sterile water or in wort at 19-25°C / 66-77°F at a ratio of 1:10. Stir gently and leave for approximately 20 minutes. Gently stir again and add to the cooled wort in the fermenter. To avoid yeast stress, ensure temperature fluctuations are minimal.
