The beer is then left to mature for 2 weeks in a warm room of about 20 degrees Celsius where the yeast can do its work. It has taken several generations to fine-tune this extremely complex process. 2 types of yeast are used for secondary fermentation: the first is an active yeast that sets the secondary fermentation process in motion and the second provides a typical, rich flavour. The more the beer matures, the more powerful its aroma will be and the fuller its flavour and colour will become. It is therefore up to you how you prefer your Augustijn, Gulden Draak of Piraat: fruity and mild (within 3 months of bottling), or complex and full of character (after 18 months).
