WYeast 9097-PC Old Ale Blend
WYeast 9097-PC Old Ale Blend
To bring you a bit of English brewing heritage we developed the “Old Ale” blend. It includes an attenuative ale strain along with a small amount of Brettanomyces. The blend will ferment well in dark worts, producing fruity beers with nice complexity. The Brettanomyces adds a pie cherry-like flavor and sourness during prolonged aging.

I got an og of about 1.068 so slightly lower than expected, but still not bad for an old ale. It's now still fermenting in secondary with a nice Brett pellicle forming. I'll probably let this go another month before bottling.
