White Labs 565 Belgian Saison I Ale Yeast PurePitch® Next Generation

$15.99

A classic saison strain sourced from the Wallonia region of Belgium. This strain makes a classic saison by producing flavors and aromas noted as earthy, peppery and spicy. With attenuation averaging around 70 to 75%, some malt flavor will remain present. For best fermentation results, let this strain free-rise to allow for complete attenuation and production of the subtle, traditional aroma characteristics. With high gravity saisons, it’s suggested to dry the beer with an alternate yeast (such as WLP001 California Ale Yeast®) added after 50 to 60% fermentation.

WLP565 Belgian Saison I Ale Yeast is POF+, this strain will contribute phenolic characteristics to finished products.

**This strain has been genetically typed and determined WLP565 Belgian Saison I Yeast to contain the STA1 gene (glucoamylase), a potential indicator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus. Brewers yeast are natural hybrids, which make it possible for certain strains to display elements of the STA1 gene. These strains have the ability to utilize some dextrins (unfermentable sugars), resulting in higher levels of attenuation than what is considered typical.

Attenuation: 78% – 85%
Flocculation: Medium
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium (5 – 10%)
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68°F – 75°F

PurePitch® Next Generation
PurePitch® Next Generation, an evolution of White Labs’ PurePitch® – the most superior and consistent yeast on the market – has been made even better with new packaging powered by FlexCell® Technology for ease of use and a pitch rate resulting in a foolproof fermentation every time.

Why PurePitch® Next Generation
White Labs’ goal in creating PurePitch® Next Generation for Homebrewers was to provide a product that will allow hobbyists and small-scale brewers a convenient and modular package to pitch a consistent 7.5 million cells/mL, a commercially recommended pitching rate for standard ale ranges. The same package has proven to be an optimization to PurePitch® for larger professional brewers for over a year.

Now at 2X the Pitch
Now with more yeast, get a foolproof fermentation without a starter. Following a commercially recommended pitching rate allows you to pitch like the pros!
