Dry yeast
« on: November 12, 2015, 09:06:19 am »
Any Dry yeast recommendations for a Belgian Blonde?  I've only used liquid up to this point.
Thanks

Belle Saison yeast would work, but it ferments out dry, like 98% attenuation.  It would taste good though.

I'd probably go for something less "saisony" like T-58, but I'm biased because I don't care much for Belle Saison
(too distinct and one dimensional for me)

Yeah, I think T-58 would be preferable.

I haven't used the T-58 but I think they're probably right.

I have a trippel using Belle Saison in the fermenter.
We shall see.

I have used T-58 for both belgian blondes and tripels in the past.  Both were good and the tripel even won a 3rd BOS at the state fair a few years back.  Do beware though - plan to age it a bit to let some of the initial "funk" of that yeast fade.  After about 6 wks it turns out quite nicely.  Don't ferment it too warm at first either or the phenolics will get too  out of control.
