Saison Blend II Yeast | White Labs WLP4021 Yeast
Saison Blend II – Peppery, Fruity, and Complex Saison Fermentations
Perfect for Belgian Saisons with Balanced Ester and Phenol Expression
White Labs WLP4021 Saison Blend II Yeast is a house blend of classic saison strains, designed to provide moderate phenolics and peppery spice while allowing the malt and hop character to shine through. Unlike more aggressive saison yeasts that attenuate to extreme dryness, this strain offers a more rounded finish with a soft mouthfeel and restrained funk.
Ideal for brewers looking to craft saisons that are complex yet approachable, WLP4021 produces moderate fruitiness and a pleasant tartness that can be layered with hops, spice additions, or fruit. Great for both traditional and modern farmhouse ales.

Our Commitment to Yeast Health
At SoCal Brewing Supply, we take yeast storage and viability very seriously. We ensure yeast is always stored under optimal conditions, with 24-hour monitoring of refrigerator temperatures to prevent spikes that could negatively impact yeast health.
For liquid yeast orders, we recommend shipping with an ice pack and insulated envelope to ensure your yeast arrives in top condition. It's normal for ice packs to melt during transit; their purpose is to protect the yeast from extreme temperatures caused by external weather conditions.
