Product details

Robust flavor yeast with moderate to high alcohol tolerance. Fruity nose and palate, dry, tart finish. Apparent attenuation: 73-77%. Flocculation: low. Optimum temp: 65°-75° F

Wyeast Belgian Ale 1214 and Belgian Strong Ale 1388 are typically slow starters, often taking closer to 36 hours to show some inflation in the smack pack. We highly recommend using a yeast starter with these strains as the lag time to begin fermentation is typically longer than other strains​.

NOTE: During summer months, we include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeast orders. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will stay frozen given transit times and particularly hot temperatures. For this reason, we recommend ordering dry yeast during summer months.

Yeast Disclaimer We strongly recommend ordering dry yeast in the summer months. We do include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeasts. It is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will survive the trip given transit times and particularly hot temperatures.

Marvelous results

I used this for Josh Weikert's Trappist Single recipe in Craft Beer and Brewing magazine. This was what he recommended. I've made this recipe twice now, and it has received rave reviews from my friends and out local homebrew club.
