Summertime Brewing

You don't have to give up on your homebrewing hobby just because of the sweltering summer. These three yeasts can take additional heat, with Saison boasting the highest temperature range - up to 85 degrees!

1. Saison yeast - Temp. Range 63-85°F

Lends the spicy, peppery esters that define the Saison style, and gives a fruity farmhouse ale-like flavor to your finished beer. Ferments quickly with high attenuation and high alcohol tolerance. (In our store, this is the Belle Saison Dry Brewing Yeast).

We'd suggest brewing...

Saison du Miel {dry, spicy, peppery}

2. Belgian yeast - Temp. Range 59-75°F

High ester, spicy and peppery flavor profile, and the ability to tolerate high alcohol conditions (up to 11.5% v/v). (In our store, this is the Safbrew T-58 Dry Ale Yeast).
