Crafting Complex Beer: Delirium Tremens And Yeast Blend Mastery

Delirium Tremens is a Belgian ale that uses three different strains of yeast, which create a unique flavour. The last fermentation occurs in the bottle, making it highly effervescent and complex.

Delirium Tremens uses 3 different strains of yeast

Delirium Tremens is a Belgian ale that uses three different strains of yeast. The last fermentation occurs in the bottle and makes for a highly effervescent brew with complex flavours and a relatively high ABV.

The three strains of yeast used in Delirium Tremens are not named but are described as a typical Belgian yeast profile, on the cleaner side, with green and red apple esters. The Duvel strain will likely be too clean and Achouffe too spicy.

If you want to clone the beer, you could use WLP530/Wyeast 3787 (Westmalle) as it tends to get a lot of pear esters out of it (not that far off from apple) and it's an excellent all-around yeast.

Huyghe purportedly uses a combination of S-04 and Duvel (WLP570/WY1388/WB-06) in their fermentation. Duvel uses a very low pitch rate with their strain.

Delirium Tremens contains just pale malt, Styrian Golding and Saaz hops, three different types of yeast, and water.

Yeast choice for Delirium Tremens

Delirium Tremens is a Belgian ale that uses three different strains of yeast, which gives it a cleaner Belgian yeast profile with green and red apple esters. The last fermentation occurs in the bottle and makes for a highly effervescent brew with complex flavors and a relatively high ABV.

If you are looking to clone the beer, WLP530/Wyeast 3787 (Westmalle) is a good choice as it tends to get a lot of pear esters out of it (not that far off from apple), and it's an excellent all-around yeast. WLP550 and 575 may also do the trick and blend those three to get a unique result. WLP550 is a good clone and tasting against cans I found in the US was fairly close, edge given to the fresh home brew.

Huyghe purportedly uses a combination of S-04 and Duvel (WLP570/WY1388/WB-06) in their fermentation. Duvel uses a very low pitch rate with their strain. WLP570 and WB-06 are very closely related and highly recommended.

None of the yeast strains used in Delirium Tremens have been able to be found any information on. The Duvel strain will likely be too clean and Achouffe too spicy. US-05 is obviously inappropriate and WB-06 is a weissbier yeast, so even more inappropriate.

Delirium Tremens is loved by many and is absolutely loved by those who have tried the yeast WLP550. Huyghe purportedly uses a combination of S-04 and Duvel (WLP570/WY1388/WB-06) in their fermentation. Duvel uses a very low pitch rate with their strain. I would recommend pitching Duvel low relative to S-04.
