Angel CS31 Saison Ale Yeast

Angel CS31 is a classic Belgian style saison yeast with high aroma intensity and very high attenuation levels due to its diastatic ability. It produces peppery and spicy aromas which are more prevalent at lower fermentation temperatures (<20°C), whereas the fruity expression dominates at higher fermentation temperatures (27°C+). The flavor of CS31 will further develop during bottle conditioning. The diastatic ability of CS31 can lead to refermentation of packaged beer. Care should be taken to ensure fermentation is fully exhausted prior to finished packaging into bottles and cans.

59–77 °F (15–25 °C)
Recommended for precision brewing: 64–72 °F (18–22 °C)

Usage Rate:
0.5–1.0 g/L (50–100 g/hL); increased pitching of 1.5–3.0 g/L (150–300 g/hL) advised for high-gravity or challenging fermentations

Rehydration Instructions:
Rehydrate in 5–10× its weight of clean water or diluted wort at 72–86 °F (22–30 °C) for 10–20 minutes. Gently adjust to wort temperature and pitch within half an hour to ensure optimal yeast vitality.
