Description
French Saison yeast is an exceptional, highly attenuative top-fermenting ale yeast, creating distinctive beers with spicy, fruity and peppery notes. Ideal for fermentation of farmhouse style beer. This is a highly characterful yeast strain that will dominate all but the highest hopping rates and complex malt bills. Beers fermented with this yeast will tend to be dry in finish, often with a slight drying acidity and peppery notes, aiding drinkability at higher alcohol levels. Higher alcohol beers may have an increased ester production and warming alcohol notes.
Brewing Properties of French Saison Ale
The functional properties of brewing yeasts have a direct impact on the performance, quality and economics of the resulting beer.

| Attenuation Attenuation refers to the percentage of sugars converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide, as measured by specific gravity. |
85-90% |
| Flocculation Flocculation refers to the tendency of yeast to form clumps called "flocs" that drop in order to make the beer clear. |
