French Saison ale yeast from White Labs is a versatile strain for making a range of different saisons and farmhouse ales. While some Belgian saison strains can be very tempermental and stall out midway through fermentation, White Labs' French Saison keeps going! Producing dry beers with good phenolic characteristics and some fruity esters as well, French Saison is very attenuative and will leave beers quite dry! It is a medium flocculating strain that will clear, but may take more time than an English or American ale strain to settle out of solution. The results will be worth it, however. A great and reliable strain for saisons, farmhouse ales, and a range of both French and Belgian style ales!

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!
