LalBrew Farmhouse Saison Hybrid Yeast - Lallemand

Saison is one of the most characterful and complex beer styles in the world — dry, spicy, earthy and effervescent, born from Belgian farmhouse brewing tradition. But traditional diastaticus saison yeasts come with a risk: they can ferment residual dextrins even after packaging, causing bottle bombs and gushing. LalBrew Farmhouse solves this problem elegantly.

Perfect for these beer styles: Saison, Farmhouse Ale, Bière de Garde, Belgian Golden Strong Ale, Belgian Blonde, Table Beer, Summer Saison, Hoppy Saison.

Developed by Renaissance Bioscience Corp. using advanced yeast breeding technology, LalBrew Farmhouse has had the STA1 gene — responsible for diastatic activity — carefully removed while retaining full normal brewing sugar utilization. You get all the dry finish and spicy complexity of a traditional saison yeast with none of the over-attenuation risk. Your bottles and kegs are safe.

The aroma profile is classically saison: clove, white pepper, floral esters, light fruity notes and the characteristic dry finish that makes this style so supremely drinkable. Fermentation at 22-30°C gives flexibility — cooler temperatures produce a more restrained and elegant profile while warmer fermentation amplifies spice and fruit character.

Low flocculation keeps the beer slightly hazy in the traditional farmhouse manner. Pitching rate and nutrient additions have a significant impact on ester production — experiment to find your signature saison character. For brewers passionate about Belgian farmhouse traditions, this is an essential strain.
