LallemandNorthern Brewer Y023Danstar Belle Saison Dry Yeast
LallemandNorthern Brewer Y023Danstar Belle Saison Dry Yeast
Danstar Belle Saison is a Belgian saison-style ale yeast, a breakthrough in the world of traditional dried yeasts. Get all the great esters and phenols that are so desirable in an authentic Belgian-style saison, with the convenience of dried yeast! Danstar technical analysis indicates that it does not experience the sluggishness common with "Dupont"-style strains. Full attenuation is possible within 72 hours, at pitching rate of 1 g/L (2 packs for 5 gallons), wort density of 12 Plato (1.048). Fermentation temperature should be kept above 63F - it is unknown at this time what the upper limit for this yeast strain is, but free-rising from pitch temperature is encouraged. The manufacturer recommends rehydrating this yeast - instructions are on the back of the package.
Notes
Inspired by Jamil's recipe for Saison in "Brewing Classic Styles". Yeast is actually Lallemand Farmhouse Hybrid Saison. Mash cool to increase fermentability. Sugar is actually palm sugar from asian grocery. Ferment at 75.

Discussion
Finished beer analysis

Finished a little sweet for a Saison, next time omit the Munich and/or Melanoidin malt. The Lallemand Farmhouse Hybrid Saison yeast fermented a little cleaner than I expected, was expecting a little more farmhouse funk, and a bit more Belgian ester and phenol character. Maybe if I fermented a little warmer than 75 those aromatics would have been more assertive.
