Frequently asked questions about WLP590 French Saison
What does it mean that WLP590 is STA1 positive?
STA1-positive yeast can break down dextrins that ordinary yeast leaves behind, so the beer becomes very dry. Wait until fermentation is completely finished and stable before bottling, and clean and sanitize your equipment thoroughly afterwards so the yeast is not carried into your next brew.
What temperature should WLP590 ferment at?
The ideal fermentation temperature is 20–30 °C. Saison yeast tolerates high temperatures, and warmer fermentation gives more spice and fruit.
Do I need a yeast starter?
One pack is intended for 20 litres of standard ale with OG below 1.074 and temperature above 16 °C, without a starter. For stronger beers or larger batches you need more yeast, for example two packs or a starter.
Which beer styles does WLP590 suit?
Saison, bière de garde and Belgian pale ale.
