Cellar Science Monk Belgian Abbey Dry Yeast is a versatile and reliable yeast strain designed for brewing a wide range of Belgian-style ales, including Blondes, Dubbels, Tripels, and Quads. This yeast is known for producing clean yet complex beers with delicate fruit flavors and restrained phenolic notes, which are characteristic of traditional Belgian Abbey ales.

Key Characteristics:

• Fermentation Temperature: Optimal performance is achieved between 62-77°F (16-25°C), allowing for a wide range of fermentation profiles depending on the desired beer style.
• Flocculation: Medium, contributing to a balanced clarity while still retaining some of the yeast's characteristic flavors.
• Attenuation: Ranges from 75-85%, which provides a dry finish typical of many Belgian ales.
• Alcohol Tolerance: Capable of handling up to 12% ABV, making it suitable for higher gravity brews such as Belgian Quads.

Usage Instructions: Monk yeast is designed for direct pitching into the wort, simplifying the brewing process by eliminating the need for initial oxygenation.
