Wyeast | 3724 Belgian Saison | Beer Yeast | Activator Smack-Pack System™ | 100 Billion Cells

    Description

    • 3724 is the classic farmhouse ale yeast. Spicy with complex aromatics, including bubble gum
    • It is very tart and dry on the palate with a mild fruitiness. Expect a crisp, mildly acidic finish 
    • Activator Smack-Pack System™ "proofs" the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort
    • When smacked, the Activator™ packet releases sugars and nutrients to initiate the culture's metabolism
    • Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available
    • Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation

    This strain is the classic farmhouse ale yeast. A traditional yeast that is spicy with complex aromatics, including bubble gum. It is very tart and dry on the palate with a mild fruitiness. Expect a crisp, mildly acidic finish that will benefit from elevated fermentation temperatures. This strain is notorious for a rapid and vigorous start to fermentation, only to stick around 1.035 S.G. Fermentation will finish, given time and warm temperatures. Warm fermentation temperatures at least 90°F (32°C) or the use of a secondary strain can accelerate attenuation.

    Attenuation: 76-80%
    Flocculation: Low
    Alcohol Tolerance: 12%
    Optimum Fermentation Temp: 70-95°F
    Cell Count: 100 Billion

    Styles:
    Saison

    For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

    Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

        Wyeast 3724

        Love this yeast! You can totally manipulate the flavors you get from it by accurate temps. I open ferment with tin foil on my blow off. Not a fan of under pitching. I pitch #3724 more like lager and have no stall issues. Great yeast always tasty!

        Lazy fermentation

        Picky yeast. I knew ahead of time I may have issues from what many on the brewing forms had mentioned but I thought I would try it. I made a 2L starter. It took right off and fermented vigorously at 80F held there with temp control. After 4 weeks it appeared completely done..no activity whatsoever. I took a gravity reading and it was 1.035. I couldn't believe it. I racked and added Belle Saison to finish. It did smell good but it's finicky fermentation is something I don't want to mess with. There are more reliable yeasts. Try at your own risk.

        Worked well for me.

        I made my own recipe of a honey Saison with this strain. Left it at 90-91F for 1 mounth. Was a very slow, steady, fermentation. Fantastic results, but clearly needs special attention. Keep the heat on and be patient. Worth it.
