Item currently out of stock
Description

Abbey Ale yeast is still used in two of the six Trappist breweries remaining in the world!  This yeast produces the distinctive fruitiness and plum characteristics. Excellent yeast for Belgian Ales, Dubbels and Trippels.

Abbey Ale yeast does best when pitched at 66-68F and let to rise up 1-2 degrees per day and hold it at 72-75F for 7-14 days. This yeast can dry out a beer no problem. With a gravity beer of 1.080 SG we recommend using 8g of Fermaid K (AD345) in conjunction with this yeast during the first 24-48 hours after pitch.

Attenuation: 73-78%
Flocculation: Medium to high
Fermentation Temp: 64-74F
Wyeast Equivalent: 1214 Belgian Ale

This strain is one of Vinnie Cilurzo's (Russian River Brewing Company) favorite yeast strains for his famous bottle conditioned belgian ales.

For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.
 

Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

This had a higher flocculation than the other recommended yeasts for a Belgian, and the temperature range seemed manageable. I've used SafAle and Wyeast before, this will be my first White Labs, looking forward to how it comes out.

Zachary E m on Apr 30, 2022
I'm making a beer that I estimate will be around 1.074 - 1.080 OG. I don't have the things I need or the time get them to make a starter. Should I pitch 2 packs with a OG that high? Or should I pitch 1 pack with some fermaid K like mentioned in the description? This is a sour beer and will be going into barrels with a pack of Roeselare for secondary fermentation and aging. So will be I okay with just 1 pack for primary? Considering the mixed culture will consume residual sugars as it ages?
Heidi Gray on Jan 16, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Given that you’re adding Roeselare, I would do just one pack of Abbey Ale. Also, Roeselare works slowly on first, and sometimes even second and third generations. You may want to consider doing a separate small batch or starter with it while the main batch is fermenting with the Abbey Ale. For the best results, continue to decant and step the small batch as long as possible. And if you plan to make more sour batches with Roeselare in the future, save some and keep it rolling separately. Alternatively, add in some commercial dregs. Lindemans Cuvée René is a fast acting addition to almost any sour. Whatever you decide, best of luck. Kanpai.

Explosive Fermentation
Built up a double yeast starter for a 5.25 gallon batch with a OG of 1.075. The yeast started quickly with active bubbling within 3 hours.

By hour 30 I had yeast / krausen getting pushed out my blow off tube. Seems to be working great. So far went from 1.075 to 1.028 in 36 hours.

Great yeast
This has become my go-to yeast. Nice belgian character without being overbearing. I use this in a Trappist Single that is my house beer. Good attenuation, good flocculation, nice pear ester. Really a just a lovely yeast.

My go-to yeast for Tripel and Dark Strong
I've used this yeast probably a dozen times over the years. Many of the other similar 530 numbers will work in a pinch, but I prefer this one if its available. Great Belgian abbey flavor and nose. I've taken home many awards with this strain. Highly recommended.

Fantastic in Belgian Pale Ale
My first time brewing the Belgian Pale Ale extract recipe using this yeast turned out excellent. I am no yeast expert so I can't comment on how well it flocculated, etc. I can tell you that for an amateur I pitched this yeast at 84 degrees F (oops) and only fermented this bad boy for just 6 days at 72 F. Cold crashed at 36F for 36 hours, kegged and force carbonated.

Considering the very short fermentation time, and my high pitch temperature, the beer still turned out so good I found myself daydreaming at work about drinking the fine beer this yeast produced. I feel that it is this yeast that adds to and accentuates the complexity of the Belgian Pale Ale.

I did detect the fruitiness and the "plum" flavor really combined well with the "raisin-like" flavor of the Belgian Special B specialty grains in the recipe. It accentuated the complexities in the malts and the spicy notes in the hops.

I would like to test this side-by-side with the WLP500 Monastery yeast to see the difference.

Enrtry level Belgian
A terrific yeast if you want a subtle Belgian taste with just a little fruit. Used it on a tripel and had a number of wine drinkers who really enjoyed it. One of my favorite Belgian yeasts. Can be a little of slow starter but attenuates well.

The yeast took off fast and the beer turned out great! I highly recommend a blow-off tube or you will foul your airlock.

My favorite Belgian yeast strain
If you treat this yeast well, it will treat your beer very well. Attenuates very well to produce a slightly fruity and moderately spiced beer. Deep ester complexity. My favorite.

Belgian Dubbel
Currently working on the perfect Dubbel with my son. This yeast starts well, ferments strong and smells wonderful. Be sure to use a starter and stir with O2 after pitching. I am comparing this yeast with 4 others on the same receipt for best flavor in what we personally like. More later...
