French Saison from Wyeast is a wonderful yeast strain that is very attenuative, often fermenting beers very dry and completely. It produces beers with a fabulous, intense flavor profile where fruit, citrus and spice dance together on the tongue in unison. It can handle higher temperatures, as beers fermented traditionally on French manors would have endured, and brewers often ferment this one warm, in the mid to high 70s, to wonderful effect. Beers produced with French Saison yeast often have an unexpected slickness and richness, in spite of how well attenuated they can be Its high attenuation qualities make it ideal for restarting stuck fermentations as well as being the primary fermenting strain for a range of highly specialized beers.
ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
