Angel Yeast CS31 is a robust, high-performance Belgian Saison ale yeast known for its fruity ester expression, vigorous fermentation, and ability to produce very dry, highly attenuated beers. A diastatic strain (STA1+), CS31 delivers the classic Saison character peppery, fruity, and crisp while tolerating high alcohol levels and finishing reliably.
- Fruity, ester-forward Belgian Saison profile with dry finish
- Medium-to-high flocculation for bright, refined beer
- Very high attenuation (~83–94%) for crisp, dry styles
- Ferments well between 59–77 °F (15–25 °C); ideal at 64–72 °F (18–22 °C)
- Diastatic (STA1+) for full, dry fermentation
- Alcohol tolerance up to 14% ABV
