Used in two of the six Trappist breweries remaining in the world, this yeast produces the distinctive fruitiness and plum characteristics. Excellent yeast for high gravity beers, Belgian ales, dubbels and trippels.
Notes
mashed 90' @ 66ºC. had a bit of a cold snap which was annoying and meant that primary dragged on for 9 days at around 16ºC most of the time, so it's not as estery as I wanted it. Also this yeast was way too attenuative, left it very dry. Dryhopped 10g of Tettnang in 2ndary which was a mistake in retrospect.
