A classic Belgian ale yeast. Phenolic flavor develops with increased fermentation temperatures, along with a mild fruitiness and complex spicy character. Flocculation: high, attenuation: 72-76%. Temperature range: 65°-85° F.

Huge Kreusen
This culture really creates a huge kreusen! I have it in my primary for 10 days now and it's still fermenting. Is this normal for this strain of yeast? I always have top notch service from Williams!
Tripel
WOW! This yeast is fantastic. Great flavor complexity: spicy with undertones of oak. SG: 1.079, FG: 1.005, ABV: 9.8. 41 days in fermenter. Low esters, alcohol high but understated. Very clear. Will use again...over and over.
great for a hot summer
Used to make two Saisons - 6.5% and 7.5% ABV. I fermented both at 70F for the first 3 days then let the first rise to 75F and the second to 85F. Both performed beautifully, but I think I prefer the 85F version better.
Good performance
I used a yeast starter and pitched into a Belgian trippel and it worked great. Good fermentation and flocculation. Creates a very clean looking ale. I will use again.
great yeast for a farmhouse ale
Pros: this yeast fermented fantastically at 90 degrees giving my farmhouse ale a wonderful aroma and flavor. i saved the yeast from my primary and plan to use it again. really great product that cultured up very well to proper pitching rate.
Cons: none that anyone brewing a belgian ale doesnt already know: it may take a long time to finish, but this is typical of these varieties.
