OB is a rare treat. Never previously commercially available, this is the pure, clean yeast culture used to primary ferment a highly regarded traditional Belgian Oud Bruin. This culture does not contain Brett or Lactic Acid Bacteria.
Creates totally unique Belgian table beers and Abbey-style ales that are dry, pleasantly spicy, ester driven, and taste of candied sugar.
When producing traditional mixed fermentation Belgian beers we recommend copitching, or pitching in secondary, our Sour Solera Blend or Mad Fermentationist Saison cultures.

Rob Rogers –
I just finished kegging my halloween “Ghoul Bruin” beer fermented with the OB. It’s started at 1.1 and 11 days later, it finished around 1.019. It could have kept going, but I wanted to keep it from getting too dry. Wonderful westvleteren characteristics…i used chocolate wheat and special belgian 2 malts and OB played wonderfully with them: notes of dates, stone fruit, and a chocolatey-coffee bitter finish. The coolest non-tasting related feature was that each time i transferred the beer, the yeast cake was so well formed, my siphon barely sucked up any trube and i didn’t have to leave any beer behind. My next plan for the OB is to go lighter and see how it’ll do making a golden strong.
