New Products - April 2010

We continue to receive new products at HBX weekly. This month we've added new yeast strains, new grains, an herb section, new kettles and hardware, and other goodies. Full details below.

New Yeasts
3864-PC Canadian/Belgian Ale Yeast
Beer Styles: Belgian Dubbel and Tripel, Belgian Specialty Ale, Belgian Golden Strong, Biere de Garde, Witbier
Profile: This alcohol tolerant strain produces complex and well-balanced Belgian Abbey style ales. Banana and fruit esters are complemented nicely with mild levels of phenolics and hints of acidity. Ester levels may be elevated by increasing gravity and fermentation temperatures.

1450 - Denny’s Favorite 50.
This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any beer style, and is a mainstay of one of our local home brewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produces a big mouth feel and accentuates the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuated.
