Hey guys I was wondering if you lot could give me some advice on a good substitute for wyeast 3822 as it is a private collection strain and I really enjoy the flavours and the phenolics the strain causes.
Cheers

No direct experience with that strain, but from the description given on their website my first attempt would be with the Roeselare.

Maybe Roselare in tandem with another abby style yeast like Rochefort strain WY 1762?

Pretty sure 3822 is a straight yeast strain with no bugs in it, I maybe wrong. Was considering wlp510 of wy 3942 as the descriptors are similar.

They directly say it's a heavy acid producer, so my money's on lacto and likely pedio. Note that if I've ever tasted something fermented with the strain I'm not aware of it, but considering they market it for a Flanders, I would highly suspect bacteria in the mix.

http://thebeerengineblog.com/2013/08/21 ... /#more-888In this article it suggests the acidity is more suggested as the ph of the beer is only around 5.18
Sorry to be difficult
