2361SafAle BE-134 is Fermentis's go-to dry yeast for classic Belgian saison: crisp, dry and loaded with character. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus strain, it keeps working through complex sugars other ale yeasts leave behind, giving you that signature high attenuation and a finish that's light on the palate. Expect a lively mix of fruity, floral esters and spicy, peppery phenolics that make a farmhouse ale taste like a farmhouse ale.
Features
- Very high attenuation – 89–93% apparent attenuation for a dry, refreshing finish
- Classic saison character – fruity and floral esters with phenolic, spicy notes (POF+)
- Warm-fermentation friendly – ideal range of 64–79°F (18–26°C) lets the yeast express its full flavor
- Clean diacetyl reduction – strong cleanup power for a polished finished beer
- Flexible pitching – pitch directly onto the wort or rehydrate first; it tolerates cold or no rehydration
- Brewer's note – as a diastaticus strain, it can keep fermenting in other beers it contacts, so give your fermenter, tubing and bottling gear a thorough clean and sanitize after use
If you're after a saison that finishes bone-dry and bursts with farmhouse spice, BE-134 is the dry yeast to reach for.
