About

This culture is a single strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, isolated from a Lithuanian Farmhouse mixed culture kindly provided by Julius Simonaitis via Lars Garshol. Across a wide temperature range this culture will throw a potent mix of orange, tropical fruit and stone fruit esters that is reminiscent of POG Juice® (passionfruit, orange, guava) accompanied by distinct spicy, earthy and herbal undertones.
