BBXBEFARM – Belgian Farmhouse Blend *BETA*

Availability: Limited, Bootleg BETA. This is potentially a one-time only release based on response.

Source: A unique blend of Belgian ale yeast, Brett and Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB)

It’s not farmhouse if it’s not funky!

This blend delivers a unique mix of funk, bright acidity and delightful ester and spice to recreate delicate styles of complex, evolving beer.

Our Belgian Farmhouse Blend is a general purpose mixed culture for saisons, grisettes and any Belgian farmhouse beers that require authentic mixed-culture fermentations that incorporate Brett and Lactic Acid Bacteria.

Hop with at least 10 IBUs to create beers that have a subtle acidity but are big on traditional Belgian yeast and Brett aromas and flavors.

  1. Kyle –

    No formal review yet but I’ll double back if I remember to. Just brewed up a 1.034 grisette w/ aged hops and threw this blend at it…mash @150 to give the brett something to chew on for a bit. Initial plan is to check at 6 weeks and bottle-condition if it’s dried out.

  2. Kyle –

    Me again- bottled this today at just over 6 weeks– it’s delicious. Got down to 1.004 (I like my saisons a bit drier, so next time I will mash a bit lower and ferment a bit higher- only went up to 78 this round). Lactic bacteria was able to poke through the aged hopping in a subtle manner, just like I like and hoped for- nice touch of barnyard funk, too. Think this will shape up to be a crusher. Saved some for future brews- so far, so good!!

  3. Mark (verified owner) –

    Brewed a split batch, 90% Sugar Creek wind malt + 10% flaked wheat, 10 IBU Saaz. Went from 1.053 to 1.003. Half bottled as-is at one month, half got 3# tart cherry puree in primary for another month, then bottled. The plain version is nicely tart and complex but not too funky; finishes nice and clean. The tart cherry version developed into a totally different beer – cherry and funkiness dominate and linger on the palate. The plain version took 1st place in the sour/Brett category at the state fair, and the cherry version took third place in the same class. Will definitely rebrew with more variations if this culture becomes available again!
