Q3 Private Collection: BELGISCHE ZOMER
Summer 2018 | Available July – Sept.
Savor some of our most popular Belgian strains with our Belgische Zomer Private Collection (pronounced Belg-HEE-sheh zow-mer) this summer. Wyeast’s Forbidden Fruit, Trappist Style Blend and Canadian/Belgian Ale strains encompass the entire spectrum of yeast properties, complimented with their distinguished and coveted ester and phenolic profiles. These strains lend themselves to a full range of Belgian brewing styles, from traditional everyday drinking to the more complex requiring greater balance and alcohol tolerance.
3463-PC Forbidden Fruit
Beer Styles: Witbier, White IPA
Profile: A widely-used strain in the production of Witbier and Grand Cru. This yeast will produce spicy phenolics which are balanced nicely by a complex ester profile. The subtle fruit character and dry tart finish will complement wheat malt, orange peel, and spice additions typical of Wits.
Apparent ABV Tolerance: 12%
Flocculation: Low
Apparent Attenuation: 72-76%
Temperature Range: 63-76°F (17-24 °C)
3789-PC Trappist Style Blend
Beer Styles: Belgian Pale Ale, Flanders Red Ale, Oud Bruin, Brett Beer, Trappist Single, Belgian Dubbel, Belgian Tripel, Belgian Dark Strong Ale, Belgian Blond Ale
Profile: A unique blend of Belgian Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces for emulating Trappist-style beer from the Florenville region in Belgium. Phenolics, mild fruitiness and complex spicy notes develop with increased fermentation temperatures. Subdued but classic “Brett” character.
Apparent ABV Tolerance: 12%
Flocculation: Medium
Apparent Attenuation: 75-80%
Temperature Range: 68-85°F (20-30°C)

Profile: This alcohol-tolerant strain produces complex and well-balanced Belgian Abbey-style ales. Banana and fruit esters are complemented nicely with mild levels of phenolics and hints of acidity. Ester levels may be elevated by increasing gravity and fermentation temperatures.
