Hi All,
I am looking for some general feedback on the St. Feuillien Triple yeast. I harvested and propogated yeast from a bottle about a month ago and now have used it in two batches, a Triple and a Triple IPA. The general performance is not what I expect from a Belgian yeast. In both batches, the final gravity has stalled around 1.020, a bit high for a Triple. My mashing temperatures were around 148-150. The general makeup of my recipe is close to your typical Triple recipe 85% grain, 15% Dextrose. I am not really concerned with the recipes as I have used it with Wyeast 3787 which tears through it like no tomorrow. My fermentation temperature are in the mid 60's for the first few days then add a heat belt to raise the temp. Has anyone used this yeast and experienced the same performance? I've only used Wyeast products so I can talk to White Labs but is there a yeast commercially available that is "suppose" to be St. Fueillien strain? I'd like to do a comparison. I know some Breweries use a different strains for primary and conditioning. I don't believe this to be the case as the flavor and aroma are very similar to St. Feuillien.
Seeking input.
Cheers
