Style Focus
Belgian-style ales are defined as much by fermentation character as they are by malt bill, gravity, or hopping rate. In styles such as blonde, dubbel, tripel, quadrupel, Belgian pale ale and strong ale, yeast is not simply a fermentation tool, it is one of the primary drivers of aroma, flavour, mouthfeel and overall style expression.
FERMOALE Bel Abbey: Building Classic Belgian Character Through Yeast Selection
In this Style Focus, we look at the technical foundations of brewing lagers with precision and consistency. This category spans a wide range of expressions, from highly attenuated international pale lagers to malt-forward Helles, What unites them is not flavour, but process: clean fermentation, tight control of sulfur and diacetyl, good clarity, and a polished finish.

Brewers must manage aspects like grist composition, water chemistry, hopping techniques, and especially yeast selection to achieve the signature fruity profile, smooth mouthfeel and haze stability of Hazy styles.
A core element in brewing a great hazy IPA is the yeast strain. The yeast drives the fruity ester profile, influences haze stability, and interacts with hops during fermentation. FERMOALE New-E can be used to optimise both flavour and process outcomes. We cover technical tips for the brewhouse and cellar, from maximising hop biotransformation to ensuring haze and flavour stability.
Style Focus: Hazies
In this Style Focus, we explore how brewers can craft low-carbohydrate beers without compromising on flavour or body. Key strategies include selecting highly fermentable grains like rice or corn, using lower mash temperatures to optimise sugar conversion, and incorporating enzymes such as ENDOZYM® AMG to break down complex carbohydrates. We also highlight the high-attenuation yeast strains in our range suited for complete fermentation and fine-tuning water chemistry to enhance mouthfeel and overall balance.
