Fermentis SafBrew™ HA-18 Yeast 25g

Fermentis SafBrew™ HA-18 Yeast 25g

The obvious choice for very high gravity beers

SafBrew™ HA-18 is a powerful solution (consisting of POF+ Active Dry Brewer’s Yeast and enzymes) for the production of high-gravity and particularly high alcoholic beers – such as strong ales, barley wines and barrel aged beers with very high density. It has a very good resistance to osmotic pressure and high fermentation temperatures (thermotolerant yeast).

Ingredients:
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Maltodextrin, Glucoamylase from Aspergillus niger (EC 3.2.1.3), Emulsifier E491 (sorbitan monostearate)

SafBrew™ HA-18 sensory profile
SafBrew™ HA-18 is powerful solution which will produce a lot of flavours in the final beer, thanks to high ester release. This mix will also produce phenols, giving a potentially clove or spicy flavour to the beverage.

Dosage/Temperature:

100 to 160 g/hl at ideally 25°C – 35°C (77.0°F – 95.0°F).

Usage:
Direct pitching:
Direct pitch in the fermentor at fermentation temperature at 25°C – 35 °C (77.0°F – 95.0°F)

With prior rehydration:

• Rehydrate the yeast in 10 times its volume of water or wort at 25°C – 37 °C (77.0°F – 98.6°F).
• Leave to rest 15 minutes
• Gently stir
• Pitch in the fermentor
