Apex Cultures Dry Brewing Yeast 500g – Abbey

Apex Cultures Belgian Abbey yeast brings dried fruit complexity and gentle spice to Belgian style ales. Its fruity esters suggest raisins, figs, dates, and plums, supported by light peppery phenolics. The aromatic compounds that give many Belgian beers their spicy character. Use this dry brewing yeast for Belgian blonde ale, enkel, dubbel, tripel, quadrupel, and Belgian dark strong ale. Its flavor profile complements both lighter recipes and richer beers built around caramel malts and brewing sugars.

High attenuation helps these beers finish dry enough to balance their malt richness and alcohol, although final gravity depends on wort fermentability and brewing conditions. Medium flocculation means the yeast settles moderately after fermentation. Apex recommends pitching directly into cooled wort without rehydration; stronger beers or recipes containing substantial adjuncts may require a higher pitch rate and additional yeast nutrients.
