Brewing Properties: Quick start & vigorous fermentation, which can be completed in 5 days above 17C (63F). High attenuation & high alcohol tolerance. Fermentation rate, fermentation time & degree of attenuation depend on inoculation density, yeast handling, fermentation temperature & nutritional quality of wort. Low flocculation rate; settling can be promoted by cooling & by using fining agents & isinglass. Saison beers are quite unique to brew. During fermentation, cooling is not normally used, allowing temperature of fermentation to increase. Aroma is fruity, spicy & peppery due to ester & phenol production, & does not display undesirable odours when properly handled.
