Are you stalling? When are you going to finish?

Filibuster is a unique saison strain that will take off like normal ale yeast. The fermentation will then typically slow, or completely stall, half way through and could leave you waiting days to weeks for it to finish. The fermentation could be complete in a few days if used at the high end of the temperature range. During this time, Filibuster will crank out clove and bubble gum aromas. High temp fermentations could also lead to elevated fusel levels. Filibuster works best when blended or co-pitched with other strains. This strain is not a part of our core availability line up, please call or email for lead time and specifics. This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene via PCR analysis and is therefore considered to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. Diastaticus. This yeast strain is not a genetically modified organism (GMO). • Special order strain orders available to schedule with a 10L minimum and a 2-3 week lead time •

Saison

Most commonly, a pale, refreshing, highly-attenuated, moderately-bitter, moderate-strength Belgian ale with a very dry finish. Typically highly carbonated, and using non-barley cereal grains and optional spices for complexity, as complements the expressive yeast character that is fruity, spicy, and not overly phenolic. Less common variations include both lower-alcohol and higher-alcohol products, as well as darker versions with additional malt character.
