Belgian Trippel M31 Yeast, 10 g

Belgian Tripel M31 Yeast is a specialized strain of brewing yeast designed for crafting Belgian-style beers, particularly Tripels and other high-gravity ales. This yeast is valued for its ability to produce complex, fruity, and spicy flavor profiles that are characteristic of Belgian Tripels.

Key Characteristics:

1. Flavor Profile:
• Produces prominent esters (fruit-like aromas) such as banana, pear, or apple.
• Generates phenols that provide spicy notes like clove, pepper, or subtle herbal tones.
• Balances well with malt sweetness and hop bitterness in Tripels.
2. Fermentation Traits:
• High attenuation: Consumes a large amount of fermentable sugars, resulting in a dry finish, which is essential for Belgian Tripels.
• Alcohol tolerance: Can ferment high-alcohol beers (often up to 11–12% ABV) without stress.
• Moderate flocculation: Settles out to a degree but may leave some yeast in suspension, contributing to the beer's flavor and mouthfeel.
3. Temperature Range:
• Works best in the range of 18–25°C (64–77°F), with higher temperatures enhancing ester and phenol production.
4. Typical Styles:
• Belgian Tripels
• Belgian Golden Strong Ales
• Saisons (sometimes)
• Other complex Belgian-style ales requiring fruity and spicy character.
