LalBrew® Abbaye Belgian Ale Yeast – 11g Sachet

Perfect Yeast for Authentic Belgian Ales

LalBrew® Abbaye is a top-fermenting ale yeast of Belgian origin, meticulously selected for its proficiency in fermenting a wide range of Belgian-style beers, from low to high alcohol content. It imparts the quintessential spicy and fruity notes characteristic of Belgian and Trappist ales. At higher fermentation temperatures, it produces tropical, spicy, and banana-like flavors and aromas, while lower temperatures yield darker fruit profiles such as raisin, date, and fig. This versatility makes it ideal for brewing various Belgian styles, including Belgian White, Blonde, Golden, Dubbel, Tripel, and Quad.

Our Commitment to Yeast Health

At SoCal Brewing Supply, we take yeast storage and viability very seriously (Yes, even Dry yeasts). 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 Dry yeast shipments, we offer ice packs and insulated envelopes as an optional add-on for customers looking for extra protection during hotter months. 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.
