MAISON is your go-to Belgian yeast strain, crafted for a wide range of Belgian-style beers including Belgian Blondes, Witbiers, Dubbels, Tripels, and Quads. MAISON ferments effectively across a broad temperature range, producing an expressive yet refined balance of esters and phenols typical of classic Belgian fermentations.

At higher temperatures (around 75°F / 24°C), expect robust flavor development, featuring moderately sweet malt supported by bright fruit esters such as ethyl hexanoate (pear, apple) and isoamyl acetate (banana). These are complemented by gentle clove-like phenols (4-vinyl guaiacol) and subtle notes of white pepper and coriander seed, creating a complex yet clean Belgian profile.

At lower temperatures (around 64°F / 18°C), MAISON presents these same characteristics with greater restraint—producing a more nuanced and elegant fermentation signature. The fruit esters become softer and more floral, while phenolic spice is dialed back, allowing malt sweetness and smoothness to shine through.

• Flavor Profile: Moderately sweet malt with notes of pear, soft apple, banana, clove, white pepper, and a touch of toasted-bread malt character.

• Primary Compounds: Balanced production of ethyl hexanoate and isoamyl acetate, with light phenolic expression from 4-vinyl guaiacol for a classic Belgian balance of fruit and spice.

• Flocculation: Low to Medium

• Fermentation Range: 64–75°F (18–24°C)

• Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV

• Apparent Attenuation: ~75–80%

• Direct Pitch: No rehydration necessary

• Reliable & Consistent: Every batch undergoes PCR testing for verified strain purity and performance consistency

• High Cell Count: 15 g per sachet — over 36% more yeast than standard 11 g packs

• Versatile for All Brewers: Ideal for both homebrewers and professional craft brewers seeking authentic Belgian flavor with modern reliability

Dosage:
One sachet treats a 5–6 gal (19–23 L) batch. For larger batches, use 2–3 g/gal (0.5–0.8 g/L). We recommend rounding up by one full sachet for consistency.
