White Labs 644 Brett Brux Trois PurePitch® Next Generation

$15.99

This Belgian strain, traditionally used for wild yeast fermentations, produces a slightly tart beer with delicate mango and pineapple characteristics. This wild yeast has grown in popularity for styles like American IPA, American pale and blonde ales due to its tropical and stone fruit flavors and aromas. This Saccharomyces strain can be used like other house strains and can be easily clean with proper CIP procedures.

(Formerly named Brettanomyces . WLP644 is packaged as normal Saccharomyces and the pitch rates are the same as Saccharomyces strains).

**This strain has been genetically typed and determined WLP644 Saccharomyces “bruxellensis to contain the STA1 gene (glucoamylase), a potential indicator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus. Brewers yeast are natural hybrids, which make it possible for certain strains to display elements of the STA1 gene. These strains have the ability to utilize some dextrins (unfermentable sugars), resulting in higher levels of attenuation than what is considered typical.

Attenuation: 85% – 85%
Flocculation: Low
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium – High (8 – 12%)
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 70°F – 85°F

PurePitch® Next Generation
PurePitch® Next Generation, an evolution of White Labs’ PurePitch® – the most superior and consistent yeast on the market – has been made even better with new packaging powered by FlexCell® Technology for ease of use and a pitch rate resulting in a foolproof fermentation every time.

Why PurePitch® Next Generation
White Labs’ goal in creating PurePitch® Next Generation for Homebrewers was to provide a product that will allow hobbyists and small-scale brewers a convenient and modular package to pitch a consistent 7.5 million cells/mL, a commercially recommended pitching rate for standard ale ranges. The same package has proven to be an optimization to PurePitch® for larger professional brewers for over a year.
