yeast belgian ardennes

[Raffie]

I see the range is up to 85 degrees.

Anyone ever use this yeast?

Is it good and tasty?

 

[Raffie]

no one has used this yeast?

well, will have to see in a few months if I can find it I'll try it.

this does look good to use during the summer.

I've used this yeast on three batches and they have all turned out great. These batches were smoother and maybe slightly dryer than W1214, but I am horrible at describing taste (just know that it tastes good).

Here is the recipe for the last batch I made with this strain and it was especially good:
