Description

Ferments amazing Saisons with hints of fruit and citrus along with all the classic spicy phenolic flavors. Ferments very dry, yet leaves a soft malt body and rich mouthfeel. SAISON is eligible for direct pitch straight into your wort.

Every batch is PCR tested to ensure quality. 

Dosage:
One sachet is enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2–3 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly.

Direct Pitch or Rehydrate:
SAISON yeast can be direct pitched with great results by sprinkling it onto the surface of the wort in your fermenter. However, proper hydration helps ensure a healthy fermentation and is especially recommended for beer with a starting gravity above 15°P (1.061 SG). To hydrate yeast, first sanitize the yeast pack and a pair of scissors. Boil tap water to sterilize and then cool to 85-95°F (29-35°C). Use 10 grams (0.35 oz) of water per gram of yeast. Sprinkle the yeast onto the water, allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, and then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust the temperature of the slurry to within 10°F (6°C) of the wort temp before pitching. Ferment between 62-75°F (17-24°C).

Very interesting Yeast!
I have never brewed a Saison yeast before. I decided to do a split batch on an English IPA and used safale 05 on one and this Saison on the other. the Saison definitely has more flavor - a little spicy and it really ate down the OG. My Saison split got to 1.009 FG and my Safale 05 split got to 1.015 - so almost an entire whole percent more alcohol with the Saison!
