B45 Gnome profile
B45 Gnome was specifically selected for brewing Belgian-style ales with remarkable clarity and balanced, classic Belgian flavor profiles. The strain is equally adept at highlighting hop characteristics in Belgian pales and IPAs as it is in accentuating darker malt flavors of toffee and caramel in dubbels. This strain is known for its high flocculation, allowing brewers to achieve bright beers without the need for filtration.
Key features of B45 Gnome include:
- Balanced Belgian character that complements hop profiles
- Pairs well with caramel and toffee malts
