Fermentis
SafLager™ S-23 Yeast is a bottom fermenting lager yeast originating from the VLB - Berlin in Germany recommended for the production of fruity and estery lagers. Its lower attenuation profile gives beers with a good length on the palate.
Form:
- Available in 11.5g sachets
Fermentation temperature:
- Ideally 12-15°C (53.6-59°F)
TOTAL ESTERS
- 37 ppm at 18°P at 12°C during the first 48h of fermentation then 14°C in EBC tubes
TOTAL SUPERIOR ALCOHOLS
- 177 ppm at 18°P at 12°C during the first 48h of fermentation then 14°C in EBC tubes
RESIDUAL SUGARS
- 8 g/l* *4g maltotriose/L corresponding to an apparent attenuation of 82%
FLOCCULATION
SEDIMENTATION
Dosage instructions:
- 80 to 120 g/hl (16-24g per 20L homebrew length) for fermentation at 12°C – 15°C (53.6-59°F).
- Increase pitching for fermentation lower than 12°C (53°F), up to 200 to 300 g/hl at 9°C (48°F)
Rehydration instructions:
- Sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort at 21 to 25 °C (70°F to 77°F).
- Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes.
- Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
Alternatively,
- Pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20°C (68°F).
- Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps.
- Leave for 30 minutes, then mix the wort using aeration or by wort addition.
INGREDIENTS:
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), emulsifier E491
