Omega OYL-218 All The Bretts for Fruity, Funky Brettanomyces Fermentation
Omega Yeast OYL-218 All The Bretts is a Brettanomyces blend built for brewers who want layered funk, fruit expression, and an evolving fermentation profile that keeps changing over time. Omega describes it as an evolving blend of Brett strains from across its culture library, useful in secondary fermentation or as a primary fermenter depending on your process and target character.
This blend is associated with very high attenuation, typically 85%+, low flocculation, and a warm working range around 70 to 85°F. It is a strong fit for mixed fermentation projects, farmhouse-style beer, Brett-driven saisons, barrel programs, and experimental wild beer where complexity matters more than speed.
What OYL-218 Contributes to Beer
- Layered Brett character: Fruity, funky, and evolving over time rather than simple one-note fermentation
- Very high attenuation: Helps drive beer dry and can continue developing in ways standard ale strains will not
- Flexible use: Can be used in primary or secondary depending on your process goals
- Strong specialty-beer utility: Great for wild ales, farmhouse beer, mixed fermentation projects, and long-term aging programs

Why Brewers Choose OYL-218
This blend is useful when a brewer wants more than a clean fermentation with a small wild edge. It is designed for projects where character development over time is part of the point, not a side effect. That makes it attractive for brewers building more expressive farmhouse and mixed-culture programs.
Because Brett fermentations can evolve significantly, this blend is best used by brewers who understand that the finished beer may continue changing with time, packaging, and cellar conditions.
Liquid Yeast Storage and Shipping
We store liquid cultures in temperature-monitored refrigeration to help preserve health and viability until shipment. Once in transit, weather and carrier handling are outside our control, so customers should choose shipping protection based on route, season, and timing.
Expedited shipping, insulated packaging, and ice packs can help reduce liquid yeast shipping risk during warm transit conditions. Dry yeast is generally much less risky to ship than liquid yeast, but Brett blends like this benefit from careful handling.
