Description
This blend combines one of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains from the Saison Blend and two unique Brettanomyces isolates from our yeast library. The Saccharomyces strain is a strong attenuator that produces a delightful ester profile of grapefruit and orange zest and imparts a long, dry and earthy finish to the beer. The Brettanomyces strains are both good attenuators that produce some fruity esters and mild funk, and add a bright character to the beer. The resulting beer is dry with balanced ester and phenolic character.
Brewing Properties of Saison/Brettanomyces Blend
The functional properties of brewing yeasts have a direct impact on the performance, quality and economics of the resulting beer.
| Alcohol Tolerance The alcohol tolerance determines the ABV at which yeast cells go dormant and stop fermenting. |
High% |
|---|---|
| Attenuation Attenuation refers to the percentage of sugars converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide, as measured by specific gravity. |
80-100% |
| Flocculation Flocculation refers to the tendency of yeast to form clumps called "flocs" that drop in order to make the beer clear. |
Medium-Low |
| Optimal Temperature The optimal temperature is the range in which the yeast performs best without putting off any off-flavors. Pitching the yeast into wort usually happens at the low end of the temperature range. |
70-78° F (21-26° C) |
