LalBrew Farmhouse™ is a non-diastatic hybrid dry yeast, specially bred for crisp, clean-fermenting saisons and farmhouse beers. Developed by Lallemand in collaboration with Renaissance Yeast in Vancouver, BC, this strain lacks the STA1 gene responsible for over-attenuation, giving you dependable attenuation without bottling issues. Patented technology from UC Davis ensures it won’t generate sulfur off-notes, enhancing saison-style aromas and flavor profiles.
High attenuation (78–84%) & low flocculation – yields a dry finish ideal for crisp ales
Alcohol tolerance to 13% ABV – supports a range of strong ales
No diastatic activity – safe for packaging, avoiding over-carbonation
Clean flavor profile – minimal sulfurs, with soft clove, pepper, tropical and stone fruit ester notes
Optimal temp range: 22–30 °C (72–86 °F) – lower temps yield cleaner flavors, hotter ferments bring more farmhouse spice
Ideal Styles:
Saison, Farmhouse Ale, Grisette, Belgian Blonde, Tripel, Hoppy farmhouse variations, and innovative hybrid ales
