Brewing Properties
In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) Abbaye yeast exhibits: Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 4 days.
High attenuation and Medium to High flocculation. Aroma and flavor is fruity and spicy with a hint of alcohol.
The optimal temperature range for Abbaye yeast when producing traditional styles is 17°C(63°F) to 25°C(77°F).
Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavor are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.

"I like to be able to repeat my brews, this is a consistent yeast, recomend 21 degreea"
"Really happy with how the Belgian Blond turned out with this yeast. Highly recommend."
"Used this on a very simple base brew as an experiment, and added nice variation and finish to the flavour. Would definitely use again to accentuate some of the flavour profiles it says."
"Super easy to use, personally I like a single temperature of 21 degrees just for consistency. It works well"
"Such a great yeast. Pleasant flavours, even at higher temperatures. ."
"Fermentation takes off quickly and it churns through."
"Fermented out over 7 days leaving a clear Belgium ale"
"This yeast gave me great attenuation and the closest attributes of a Belgian Blonde that I have achieved after trying 3 other yeasts."
"Perfect for Belgian style biers. This yeast pumps clove if you use a ferulic acid mash rest"
"Arrived quickly and was packed well"
