Shipping Liquid Yeast:We ship every pack of liquid yeast with an ice pack – however, during the summer months sometimes even that won’t be enough to keep your yeast cold. We strongly recommend that you consider brewing with dry yeast during the summer months, since dry yeast is not as susceptible to heat. Since the shipping time and temperature inside a shipping truck can vary greatly, we cannot guarantee the single ice pack will keep everything cool when you buy liquid yeast in the summer months. Additional ice packs can be purchased at the following link: https://www.atlanticbrewsupply.com/Extra-Ice-Pack-for-Yeast-Shipment_p_2713.html

If you dig using a diverse array of unique organisms to create balanced sour beers, this delightful medley of microbes is sure to please! Mélange is our most varied mix of fermentative organisms, intended for use in the production of sour beers in which a balance of funk and sourness is desired. This blend contains two Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates, Saccharomyces fermentati, five Brettanomyces isolates, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus delbreuckii and Pediococcus damnosus. If you want acidity quickly, we recommend keeping the IBU low (0-5 IBU), starting with a fermentation temperature of 70-72 ºF for the first few days and then raising the temperature to 75-80 ºF to encourage development of sourness (Lactobacillus, Pediococcus). For a slower developing beer that exhibits a rounded balance of funk (Brettanomyces) and sourness we recommend ~5-10 IBU, mashing on the high end, fermenting at 68 ºF and holding at that temperature for an extended period of time.
