Origin of Pinnacle Crisp Sour
The story of Pinnacle Crisp Sour yeast starts not in a research lab, or a brewery, but with a scientist hanging from a rafter, collecting a live wasp nest for the yeasts that be inside them. This is not where most yeast come from, even wild yeasts. But when they began looking for a wild yeast, they didn’t look where most people do — sugary locations in the world where you can often find yeast — in malted grains, or fruits, nectar, or tree sap. Instead, they looked in wasps.
The wasp yeast flocculated, it is extremely efficient at fermenting grains — allowing it to make a strong beer of up to 6-7% ABV. It is hop tolerant. It is remarkably easy to clean from brewery equipment, not presenting a contaminant risk like most wild yeast or bacteria.
The yeast makes a sour beer within the first 48 hours of brewing then continues to make alcohol. In addition to this, there was a surprising absence of off-flavours – the off flavors that are so prevalent in wild yeasts, and that plague kettle sours.
The original Lachancea wasp yeast is now available as a dehydrated product exclusively from AB Biotek under the label “Pinnacle Crisp Sour”.
