WLP631 Appalachian Tart (Vault Strain) - Next Generation *By Request*

*A White Labs Vault strain - available from April to June 2023, by request.*

Now with more yeast, you get double the pitch. PurePitch® Next Generation is designed to pitch at a rate of 7.5 million cells/mL per 5 gallons/19 liters, a commercially recommended pitching rate for standard ale ranges. PurePitch® Next Generation has an improved proprietary film designed specifically for White Labs and allows for one-way off-gassing to reduce product inflation and deliver higher yeast health and longer shelf life.

This specialty blend of Kveik yeast and Lactobacillus sp. has been designed to pitch during primary fermentation to create a unique co-ferment of yeast and bacteria, resulting in a mildly fruity and tart beer. Fermenting with both yeast and bacteria at the same time provides a faster and cleaner souring profile. This blend is ideal for beer styles like Berliner weisse, gose, or experimental beers.

Although this blend can be used at 80°F(27°C) or higher, if used between 90°-100°F (32°-38°C) fermentation can be completed within 72 hours.

It's recommended to keep wort hopping low and IBU's below 5-7 to ensure the bacteria is not inhibited.
