Sourvisiae Lactic-Producing Yeast (500g)

Sourvisiae® is a bioengineered ale yeast strain (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) capable of producing lactic acid during fermentation to provide brewers with an easy, reproducible, and mono-culture product for sour-style beer production. Sourvisiae® is a revolutionary new yeast strain which allows brewers to ferment and sour their beers in one simple step; reducing cross-contamination risks, lowering costs, cutting total process time, and allowing brewers to obtain a consistent product. Sourvisiae® accomplishes this though a single genetic modification: a lactate dehydrogenase gene from a food microorganism which enables the yeast to produce high levels of lactic acid, the main compound that gives sour beers their flavor. The brewing process is conducted without any modifications; Sourvisiae® is pitched just like conventional yeast and ferments in a normal fermentation time. Sourvisiae® does not produce other flavor compounds associated with Brettanomyces, Lachancea, or Lactic Acid Bacteria
