WLP565 - White Labs Belgian Saison I Ale, PurePitch® Next Generation

Classic Saison yeast from Wallonia. It produces earthy, peppery, and spicy notes. Slightly sweet. With high gravity saisons, brewers may wish to dry the beer with an alternate yeast added after 75% fermentation. Note to brewers: This strain tends to stall out in fermentation and then restart as long as two weeks later. Make sure the wort is well-oxygenated and allow the temperature to free rise in order to ensure complete fermentation. Some brewers add WLP001 to finish. This strain also goes great pitched along with the French Saison Yeast. Attenuation: 65-75% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Ferment Temp: 68-75°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

White Labs has moved to new packaging - PurePitch® Next Generation - which contains  a larger pitch and new re-closable pouch. White Labs provides a lot more information about the new packaging and pitch rates on their WEBSITE.

Why PurePitch Next Gen versus other options?
Scan the barcode on the back of each package to be taken to their online calculator. Enter the volume, strength, and pitching temperature of the wort you are fermenting and the calculator tells you exactly how much yeast to pitch. You will be fermenting like a professional brewer, using the same concentration of yeast every time and enjoying more consistent results.  Don't need a full package? Put the lid back on and store in the refrigerator for your next batch. White Labs has also increased the viability (the number of living cells in the package) over the shelf life of the yeast. Next Gen strains are grown in their unique, small-batch reactors to assure freshness and then packaged in a special film that allows for off-gassing, assuring that their viability is absolutely industry leading.
