Omega Yeast Saisonstein's Monster OYL-500

Saisonstein's Monster is an original Omega strain. Technically, a genetic hybrid of two different Saison strains, the French (OYL-026) & Belgian (OYL-027). It is very versatile, aromatic and attenuative with a silky mouthfeel. It excels in high gravity ferments and it ferments more reliably and thoroughly than its parents. It is spicy, complex, tart, dry and crisp with some bubblegum character present from its Belgian parent, with more fruit and fewer phenolics than its French parent. The best of both worlds.  This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene, an indicator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus, and is capable of fermenting dextrins, resulting in very high attenuation.
