SafAle™ BE-256 (formerly Abbaye) is a world-class yeast strain specifically selected for brewing high-gravity Belgian-style ales. This 500g bulk brick is the perfect solution for commercial breweries. BE-256 is known for its fast fermentation and exceptionally high alcohol tolerance, producing clean but complex flavor profiles with subtle spicy and fruity esters. It is the definitive choice for Belgian Dubbels, Tripels, and Quads, ensuring a well-attenuated and professional finish in high-sugar worts.
Brewery Tip: To achieve the best Belgian character, start fermentation at 68°F and allow the temperature to rise naturally to 75-78°F during the peak of fermentation. For high-gravity batches, ensure you provide adequate yeast nutrients. This strain flocculates moderately; for a brilliantly clear Belgian ale, consider a short cold-crash period once fermentation is complete.
