    Curious About DeDolle Strain

    There's not much out there on the web about Wyeast 3942. It sounds interesting. I'm curious what flavors come out at different fermentation temperatures, and how people like this yeast.

    "Isolated from a small Belgian brewery, this strain produces beers with moderate esters and minimal phenolics. Apple, bubblegum and plum-like aromas blend nicely with malt and hops. This strain will finish dry with a hint of tartness.

    Origin:
    Flocculation: medium
    Attenuation: 72-76%
    Temperature Range: 64-74° F (18-23° C)
    Alcohol Tolerance: approximately 12% ABV"

    DeDolle originally got their strain from Rodenbach. Not sure if that is still standard practice or not.... been a while since I learned that.

    I believe that De Dolle stopped sourcing their yeast from Rodenbach after the sale to Palm. I'm not sure of the source of the current Do Dolle yeast but I believe that they had to work to return some of the wild character that the Rodenbach yeast provided.
