Safale BE-256 Belgian Ale Dry Yeast

SafAle BE-256 Belgian Ale Dry Yeast is a high-performance Belgian brewing yeast designed for producing expressive Abbey ales, Belgian strong ales, and other specialty Belgian beer styles. It delivers high attenuation, balanced fruity esters, and reliable fermentation while preserving malt complexity and supporting higher alcohol beers.

Developed for home and professional brewers, SafAle BE-256 produces expressive Belgian flavor without overwhelming the finished beer. Its high flocculation promotes improved clarity while maintaining the traditional ester profile expected in Belgian-style ales.

This dry brewing yeast features an attenuation range of 82–86%, high flocculation, high ester production, and an ideal fermentation temperature range of 64.4–78.8°F (18–26°C). Each 11.5g packet is suitable for fermenting approximately 5–8 gallons of beer, depending on wort gravity and brewing practices.

For best results, pitch according to manufacturer recommendations and maintain fermentation temperatures within the recommended range. Proper wort oxygenation and adequate yeast nutrition help support healthy fermentation, especially in higher-gravity Belgian beers.

Widely used by home and professional brewers, SafAle BE-256 provides dependable fermentation performance for authentic Belgian-style ales with consistent results from batch to batch.
