Excellent Yeast for High Nutrient Loads

I have used this yeast twice now and it has worked well with high nutrient loads. Still produced good carbonation in secondary fermentation.

Great in BGSA and BOMM!

Dynamite yeast for Duvel-like beers and a tremendous yeast for bringing fruity esters to meads. In meads, this yeast is VERY dynamic with temperature. In my experience with differ ferment temps: low (62F) gives and pretty clean profile with hints of peach, mid (68F) brings bigger esters, darker fruit, and high temps (72F+) really crank out an unmistakable Belgian ale profile.
