{"product_id":"saf-ale-yeast-t-58-11g","title":"Fermentis SafAle T-58 Belgian Specialty Ale Yeast 11g","description":"\u003cp\u003eT-58 is a Belgian specialty yeast selected for its peppery, spicy, phenolic character. It is POF+ (phenolic off-flavour positive) — the clove-like phenolic compounds it produces are intentional and style-defining, not a fault. Right for Belgian and wheat styles where complexity is the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBest Suited To\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBelgian Witbier, Saison, Farmhouse Ale\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBelgian Tripel (lighter phenolic character)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpiced ales and specialty Belgian styles where clove and spice are part of the recipe intent\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFermentation temp:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–25°C (optimal 15–20°C for balanced character)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAttenuation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 71–75%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlocculation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium (powdery haze when resuspended — normal)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 11.5% ABV\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePitching rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–80g per 100L (1 sachet per 23L)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Choose T-58\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoose T-58 over M41 Belgian when you want spice and phenols to lead over fruit esters. M41 leans fruity; T-58 leans peppery and spicy. For a witbier or saison where clove notes are the point, T-58 is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoose T-58 over M29 New French Saison when you want a broadly Belgian character rather than specifically farmhouse. M29 ferments at very high temperatures and is specifically saison-focused; T-58 is more versatile across Belgian styles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractical Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTemperature is a flavour dial with T-58. At 15–17°C the profile is restrained. At 20–22°C the phenolic and spicy character opens up fully. Most people ferment too cool and wonder why their Belgian ale tastes flat — push it to at least 19–20°C.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRehydrate in 10x its weight in 27°C water, or pitch directly at standard gravity (under 1.060).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe powdery, medium sedimentation is a characteristic of T-58 — it may resuspend when the beer is moved. This is normal and not a sign of infection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKeep refrigerated. Once opened, reseal and use within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by the AHB Brewing Team — June 2026.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fermentis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41994569056333,"sku":"25015","price":9.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/25015.jpg?v=1754053325","url":"https:\/\/www.australianhomebrewing.com.au\/products\/saf-ale-yeast-t-58-11g","provider":"Australian Home Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
