added notes about Wyeast 9097 Old Ale blend
| 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>

| 9097 - PC Old Ale Blend || 75-80 || Med || 68-75 || Wyeast, as part of their Private Collection series, has come out with their Old Ale Blend. Using both an attenuative strain of ''Saccharomyces'' and a strain of ''Brettanomyces'', the two work in tandem to create lovely, classic British-style ales. Working particularly well in darker worts, this blend can create wonderful barleywines, old ales and strong ales. The blend creates ales with a nice fruit character and wonderful esters, and the ''Brett'' will work on the beer with time, bringing out pie cherry notes with the tart sourness and horse blanket flavors typical in traditional, well-aged old ales. A great strain to use when producing big beers that will develop deep and complex flavors over time! Private Collection for Winter 2015 (available Oct-Dec 2015). The ''Brett'' is rumored to be [[Brettanomyces#Wyeast|Wyeast 5526 (Lambicus)]] and the ''Sacch'' is rumored to be the Thomas Hardy yeast <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1173561706005375/?comment_id=1173738339321045&offset=0&total_comments=7&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Conversation with Brandon Jones about Wyeast 9097 Old Ale blend. 11/4/2015.]</ref>.
