WildBrew™ Philly Sour is a unique species of Lachancea selected from nature by University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, PA, USA (Patent pending N° PCT/US20 18/043 148). WildBrew™ Philly Sour produces moderate amounts of lactic acid in addition to ethanol in one simple fermentation step. This first yeast in the WildBrew™ series is a great choice for innovative, sessionable sour beers with refreshing acidity and notes of stone fruit. 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 Style, American Wild Ales and its resistance to hops make it perfect for Sour IPA’s.     QUICK FACTS Beer Styles:  Berliner Weisse, Gose, lambic-style, American Wild, and Sour IPA Aroma:  Sour, red apple, stone fruit, peach Attenuation:  High Fermentation Range: 20 - 25°C (68 - 77°F) Flocculation:  High Alcohol Tolerance:  9% ABV Pitching Rate:  50-100g/hl to achieve a minimum of 0.5-1 million viable cells/ml BREWING PROPERTIES In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast exhibits: Fermentation that can be completed in 10 days. High attenuation and High flocculation. Aroma and flavor is sour, red apple and stone fruit, notably peach. The optimal temperature range for WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast when producing traditional styles is 20°C(68°F) to 25°C(77°F). In the Lallemand standard conditions wort, typical pH of 3.2-3.5 and titratable acidity of 0.1-0.4% lactic acid are achieved. Higher lactic acid levels will be achieved in worts that are higher in glucose. Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavor are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort. USAGE The pitch rate will affect the fermentation performance and flavor of the beer. For WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast, a pitch rate 50-100 g per hL of wort is sufficient to achieve a minimum of 0.5 - 1 million viable cells/mL. More stressful fermentations such as high gravity, high adjunct or high acidity may require higher pitch rates and additional nutrients to ensure a healthy fermentation.   WildBrew™ Philly Sour is a slow fermenting, killer negative strain and will tend to be outcompeting by other brewing strains. For this reason, it is not recommended to re-pitch this strain.   WildBrew™ Philly Sour is not recommended for bottle conditioning applications. A dedicated bottle conditioning strain such as LalBrew® CBC-1 should be used when bottle conditioning WildBrew™ Philly Sour fermentations.   As a non-Saccharomyces species, WildBrew™ Philly Sour should be treated according to normal best practices for handling wild yeast. REHYDRATION Rehydration of WildBrew™ Philly Sour in sterile water is recommended prior to pitching into wort in order to reduce stress on the cell as it transitions from dry to liquid form. For many fermentations, this stress is not significant enough to affect fermentation performance and flavor, so good results may also be achieved when pitching dry yeast directly into wort. We highly recommend rehydration in harsher fermentation conditions such as high gravity or sour wort where the added stress of dry-pitching is more likely to have a greater impact on the finished beer. Use of a rehydration nutrient such as Go-Ferm Protect Evolution has been shown to improve fermentation performance for difficult fermentations.   Rehydration guidelines are quite simple and present a much lower risk of contamination than a starter, which is unnecessary when using the recommended pitch rate of dried active yeast.   Sprinkle the yeast on the surface of 10 times its weight in clean, sterilized water at 30-35°C (86-95F). Do not use wort, or distilled or reverse osmosis water, as loss in viability may result. Stir gently, leave undisturbed for 15 minutes, then stir to suspend yeast completely. Leave it to rest for 5 more minutes at 30-35°C.   Without delay, adjust the temperature to that of the wort by mixing aliquots of wort with the rehydrated yeast. Wort should be added in 5 minute intervals and taking care not to lower the temperature by more than 10°C at a time. Temperature shock of >10°C will cause formation of petite mutants leading to extended or incomplete fermentation and possible formation of undesirable flavors. Do not allow attemperation to be carried out by natural heat loss. This will take too long and could result in loss of viability or vitality.   Inoculate without delay into cooled wort in the fermenter. WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast has been conditioned to survive rehydration. The yeast contains an adequate reserve of carbohydrates and unsaturated fatty acids to achieve active growth. It is unnecessary to aerate wort upon first use.   STORAGE WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast should be stored in a vacuum sealed package in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F). WildBrew™ Philly Sour will rapidly lose activity after exposure to air.   Do not use packs that have lost vacuum. Opened packs must be re-sealed, stored in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F), and used within 3 days. If the opened package is re-sealed under vacuum immediately after opening, yeast can be stored below 4C° (39°F) until the indicated expiry date. Do not use yeast after expiry date printed on the pack.   Performance is guaranteed when stored correctly and before the expiry date. However, Lallemand dry brewing yeast is very robust and some strains can tolerate brief periods under sub-optimal conditions. 11g Pack

Beers created with Windsor are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Brewers choose Windsor to produce beers that range from pale ale to porter with moderate alcohol levels and the flavor & aroma characteristics of the best traditional ales. Windsor has a quick start to fermentation, which can be completed in 3 days above 17°C. This yeast strain has moderate attenuation, which will leave a relatively high gravity. It's a non-flocculent strain, but some settling can be promoted by cooling and use of fining agents and isinglass. This yeast has found great acceptance in producing strong-tasting bitter stouts, weizens, and hefeweizens.

BeerStix Tank Staves are basically oversized Carboy Stix that are designed to treat larger volumes of beer stored in tanks.  These are TSS-60 Tank Staves, which are sized for 60 gal batches of beer.  Thanks to careful selection of oak, followed by precise aging and seasoning, and exact toasting, these Staves will provide a round and rich oak character specific to the toast level and origin.  French Oak toasted to a Medium + with the beerstix milling will give your beer toasted roasty aromas reminiscent of coffee, along with some caramel, and a subtle sweetness that gets the whole palate.  Different beer styles will accentuate or mask different flavors from the oak, so expect some variation! The Beerstix miling gives 60% more surface area compared to the Winestix, speeding up the extraction process, and getting you a beer that has a rich oak character, in less time.  The Beer Stix are also milled thinner than the WineStix, allowing for denser toasting. Features: Oak Origin - France, Allier Region Toast Level - Medium Plus Oak Form - Tank Stave, TSS-60 Volume Treated - 60 gal Beer Extraction Time - 2 Months (see note below) Flavors & Aromas - Coffee, Roasted Toasty aromas, Caramel, Slight Sweetness Please Note - Allow 2 months minimum extraction time to balance the extraction of short and long grain from the Stix. Removal of the wood early only allows certain extractions of flavors and primarily from the short grain in the BeerStix® milling.

Wyeast Brewer's Choice Yeast Nutrient is a custom blend of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients required for yeast cells to carry out an orderly and complete fermentation from start to finish. A wort that is nutrient-deficient, or which has adequate nutrients but limited bioavailability to the cells, can experience inhibited yeast growth, disrupted or incomplete fermentations, inconsistent attenuation rates from batch to batch, and diminished cell viability. Supplemental nutrients are always beneficial, but especially valuable during yeast propagation and stressful fermentation conditions (e.g, high-adjunct worts, high-gravity fermentations). Contains: Proprietary blend of vitamins, minerals, inorganic nitrogen, organic nitrogen, zinc, phosphates and other trace elements. Dosage rate: 11 grams/ barrel of wort Usage: Dissolve in warm water. Add solution to kettle 10-15 minutes prior to end of boil. Stability: 1 year, stored in airtight container in cool environment

Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend is a custom blend of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients essential for an orderly and complete fermentation. During the cell growth and metabolization of sugars that takes place in every fermentation, yeast cells require an array of trace elements, vitamins, and compounds that can be assimilated from their environment in order to carry out their basic functions of life. However, honey-based fermentations are deficient in many of these nutrients. Nutrient deficiency can lead to disrupted or incomplete fermentations, off-flavors and aromas, and diminished stability of the finished product. Supplementing your must with Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend helps ensure high viability and health of your yeast population, which in turn helps ensure a rapid, complete, and successful fermentation with repeatable results. Contents: Proprietary blend of vitamins, minerals, inorganic nitrogen, organic nitrogen, zinc, phosphates and other trace elements. Wyeast Nutrient Blend contains DAP (Diammonium Phosphate). Dosage Rate: 1/2 tsp (2.2 g) per 5 gallons (19 L) of must (unfermented mead) Usage Directions: Dissolve Wyeast Nutrient in warm water prior to adding to must. Divide total volume evenly, each portion to be added over several alternating days. Add to must after pitching yeast, and over the next several days as determined by your nutrient addition plan. Degassing between nutrient addition days may be necessary to prevent foaming over. Shelf-Life: 1 year if stored in airtight container in a cool environment Size: Available in 1.5 oz (42 g) tubes
