Belgian Sour Mix 1 - WLP 655

Mimicking the actual flavour and character of Trappist sour beers has always been a technical challenge since these are always spontaneously fermented beers that employ an entire mix of microorganisms to carry out the primary and secondary fermentations.

However, with WLP655 Belgian Sour Mix 1, it’s possible to get results quite similar to those found in the most famous commercial examples of spontaneously fermented Belgian ales.

This is because the mix comprises Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces yeasts, as well as bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, each employed at a specific rate that ensures the right mix of flavours and aromas when pitched into the wort.
