updated description of Wyeast 3031
| 3191 Berlinerweisse Blend || 73-77 || Low || 68-72 || This blend includes a German ale strain with low ester formation and a dry, crisp finish. The Lactobacillus included produces moderate levels of acidity. The unique Brettanomyces strain imparts a critical earthy characteristic that is indicative of a true Berliner Weisse. When this blend is used, expect a slow start to fermentation as the yeast and bacteria in the blend is balanced to allow proper acid production. It generally requires 3-6 months of aging to fully develop flavor characteristics. Use this blend with worts containing extremely low hopping rates. Private Collection for Spring 2015 (available April-June 2015).

| 3031 - PC Saison-Brett Blend || 80-90 || Low || 65-80 || A blend of Saison yeast and Brettanomyces creates a dry and complex ale. Classic earthy and spicy farmhouse character meets tropical and stone fruit esters; aging brings elevated Brett flavor. Expect high attenuation with this blend. '''Available from July through September 2015'''. From Wyeast: "The 3031 blend is a couple different saison strains and a Brett c. The blend should produce a moderate Brett character is a relatively short amount of time (approx. 8-12 weeks), which should increase with age. It will do best at a fermentation temp of 65-80*F, with higher ester formation at the upper end of that range." <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1155441594484053/?comment_id=1157740487587497&offset=0&total_comments=3&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Private correspondence between Ben Campbell Dunstan and Wyeast. 10/02/2015.]</ref>
