Lallemand Farmhouse Hybrid Saison Style Yeast 500g

Lallemand Farmhouse Hybrid Saison Style Yeast 500g

LalBrew Farmhouse™ is a non-diastatic hybrid that has been selected to make Saison-style and farmhouse-style beers. This product is the result of the research and development work of Renaissance Yeast in Vancouver, BC, Canada. LalBrew Farmhouse™ was selected using the most advanced breeding techniques. The Renaissance research team used classical and non-GMO methods to remove the STA1 gene, responsible for the diastatic activity of Saison yeasts. Care was taken to retain normal brewing sugar utilization to produce dry Saisons. Additionally, the patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) ensures that the strain will not produce sulfurous off-flavours, therefore enhancing the Saison yeast aroma characteristics.

Microbiological Properties

Classified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a top-fermenting yeast.

Typical Analysis of LalBrew Farmhouse™ yeast:

• Percent solids 93% – 96%
  
• Viability > 5 x 10⁹ CFU per gram of dry yeast
  
• Wild Yeast < 1 per 10⁶ yeast cells
  
• Diastaticus Undetectable
  
• Bacteria < 1 per 10⁶ yeast cells
  

Brewing Properties

• In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) LalBrew Farmhouse™ yeast exhibits:
  
• Vigorous fermentation can be completed in 5 days.
  
• High Attenuation and Low Flocculation.
  
• Note: Contrary to traditional Saison strains, LalBrew Farmhouse™ lacks the presence of the STA-1 gene; therefore, dextrins will not be metabolized, and there is no risk of over-attenuation and over-carbonation after packaging.
  
• Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavour are dependent on the pitch.
