    Wyeast3711French Saison

    A very versatile strain that produces Saison or farmhouse style beers as well as other Belgian style beers that are highly aromatic (estery), peppery, spicy and citrusy. This strain enhances the use of spices and aroma hops, and is extremely attenuative but leaves an unexpected silky and rich mouthfeel. This strain can also be used to re-start stuck fermentations or in high gravity beers.

Notes

Use Belle Saison dried yeast and Dana hops, not saaz. Mashed 90 minutes at 64ºC. Low extraction of only 1.046
