F-2 was specifically selected for secondary fermentation in bottle and in cask
Neutral aroma profile and high alcohol resistance make it perfect for refermentation bottle conditioning
Sticks well at the bottom of the bottles/casks
Fermentis active dry yeast offers reliability, ease-of-use, and consistency to home and professional beverage makers across the world
SafAle™ F-2 is specifically selected for secondary fermentation in bottle and in cask. This yeast assimilates very little maltotriose but assimilates basic sugars (glucose, fructose, saccharose, maltose) and is characterized by a neutral aroma profile respecting the base beer character. Its neutral aroma profile, high alcohol resistance and stickiness characteristics make it a perfect match for consistent re-fermentation in bottle and cask.
SafAle™ F-2 resists to high alcohol levels (>10% v/v) and allows brewers to obtain all the properties of refermentation such as:
Beer preservation thanks to oxygen trapping
Contribution in roundness and maturation aromas
Carbonation
Sticks well at the bottom of the bottles/casks and forms a nice haze when it is resuspended
Usage:
Add 19 to 38 grams of sugar per gallon of beer (5 to 10 grams of sugar per liter) to obtain a saturation of 2.5 to 5.0 g/l of CO2
Pitch the sweetened beer, that should be at fermentation temperature (68-77°F / 20-25°C) with the rehydrated yeast. Carbonation will be achieved in 1 to 2 weeks at 68-77°F. Carbonation at 59°F can take over 2 weeks
At the end of refermentation, the beer can be cooled down and will gain in roundness after 2 to 3 weeks
