Brettanomyces Claussenii - WLP 645
Considered by many as the beginner’s strain for exploring the wonderful world of Brettanomyces, WLP645 Brettanomyces Clausenii is the earliest Brett strain that Niels Hjelte Claussen isolated at the New Carlsberg brewery at the beginning of the 20th century.
It was isolated to identify the agent responsible for the unique flavours of aged English stock ales, often defined by fruity, pineapple-like esters.
WLP645 is considered to be the mildest type of Brett available commercially, as it tends to deliver a very soft flavour profile that can complement mixed fermentations or be used as the sole fermentation agent in the recipe.
