Introducing the Philly Weisse A Sour Beer for Every Jawn]( A simple base recipe where the yeast gets its shining moment - our new Philly Weisse recipe kit is mild on the malt character and hop aroma, but bursting with sour tartness. Found on a dogwood tree in West Philadelphia, [WildBrew™ Philly Sour]( is the first yeast offered to homebrewers that produce both lactic acid and alcohol, and is a natural pure strain of Lachancea spp. Rather than creating a sour beer with bacteria that could permanently infect equipment, this yeast eliminates that problem and is ideal for a Berliner Weisse, with its high attenuation, high flocculation, and good head retention. The [Philly Weisse recipe kit]( features equal proportions of wheat and pilsner malt to create a soft, delicate malt character with notes of fresh bread and moderate cracker, while a pinch of hops adds a subtle herbal and floral aroma. The WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast ties it all together, lending an elegant tart acidity to create a dry, crisp, and extremely refreshing beer.

[Beer Recipe Kit Tasting Radar]( [Behind the Brew] “The release of [WildBrew Philly Sour]( has really opened up the world of sour beers and it was high time to make a recipe kit featuring this novel new yeast strain. Out of all the styles that this yeast can emulate, I figured Berliner Weisse would be a great candidate because of its simplicity, ease of brewing and just how damn refreshing a good Berliner Weisse is. The base recipe is really nothing special, just equal parts pilsner and wheat malts and a small dash of Hallertau to give it a little herbal and floral pop. It’s the Philly Sour that really makes this recipe shine, and this yeast is incredibly easy to work with and comes with the benefit of not having to use traditional lactobacillus in your brewery and risk contaminating other batches in the process. WildBrew Philly Sour is an awesome new yeast strain that was isolated in Philadelphia (hence the name) by the University of the Sciences and has the unique capability to produce lactic acid and alcohol in the same fermentation step. This uncanny ability allows brewers to produce a wide range of soured beers in an incredibly simple manner. There are a few things to keep in mind when using this strain to ensure the most positive outcome: First, Philly Sour enjoys a relatively high fermentation temperature. Elevated temperatures reaching into the upper 70’s is the goal to make sure that the yeast will produce as much lactic acid as possible to provide the sour note to the beer. Second, lactic acid production is a function on how much glucose is available during fermentation. For the first 1 to 3 days of fermentation, this unique yeast strain will convert glucose-based sugars (ie dextrose, aka corn sugar) into lactic acid before it goes on to produce ethanol from the heavier sugars (maltose, maltotriose, etc.). For this reason, the Philly Weisse recipe includes 5 oz of corn sugar added at the end of the boil. Its sole function is to aid Philly Sour in producing lactic acid. Finally, Philly Sour is a poor candidate for bottle conditioning to create carbonation. Due to its affinity to produce lactic acid from the simple sugars combined with its high flocculation make it undesirable for bottle conditioning. If you are bottling your beers and relying on natural carbonation, we have provided an option to add a packet of [LalBrew® CBC-1 Cask and Bottle Conditioning Ale Yeast]( to add along with the normal priming sugar get the job done. If you keg your beers and use a CO2 cylinder to force carbonation into your beers, adding a separate yeast strain is unnecessary.” -Brad Segall, Head Development Brewer [Extract Beer Recipe Kit]( [All Grain Beer Recipe Kit]( [We've Got Your Batch 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed]( [Northern Brewer Facebook]( [Northern Brewer Instagram]( [Twitter]( [Pinterest]( [YouTube]( [Free Shipping of Orders Over $59 (Some exclusions apply)]( [DEALS]( [>]( [BEER]( [>]( [WINE]( [>]( [LEARN]( [>]( ©2023 Northern Brewer LLC.
