Title: Safbrew Abbaye dry yeast
Post by: nigel_c on January 28, 2015, 05:56:22 PM
Have a brew on today and am pitching the dry abbey yeast. Anyone have any experience with this yeast. Not a lot of info on it out there.

Have a couple of packs in my fridge and plan on using them in a couple of weeks. What style are you brewing?

This one is actually a bit of a use up what I've got recipe. Simple mild double if there is such a thing.
Vienna and pills for base with special b and caramunich.
Came in 1.060. If it comes good I'll repitch in a big quad or Belgian stout.

Bottled this beer today. Really happy with the results. Super clean fermentation. Drops crystal clear. Forms a nice thick yeast cake.
Leaves a lovely Belgian bubblegum sweetness and dark fruits. Think it would be perfect for a triple. Will report back more in a few weeks once it carbonated.

Interested to see how this works. I've tended towards white labs for my Belgians but a decent dried yeast is always good to have in he fridge (if they're any use!)
