This article is one in a series describing the seasonal yeasts put out by our liquid yeast manufacturers. This one is..
Wyeast 3209-PC Oud Bruin Blend™
“Because the people don’t want something new … they want something Oud. And Bruin. This new exclusive sour blend is built for dark, malt-accented sour styles – like 3763 Roselaere™ it will create sharp acidity, but unlike 3763 it will leave the malt character intact, creating a balanced and complex end product. Excellent base for blending fruit in secondary (especially cherries or raspberries) and makes for an interesting Saison.”
