Fermentis | SafLager™ S-189 Lager | Dry Beer Yeast

    Description

    • S-189 is a great strain for brewing elegant lagers with floral notes
    • Originating from the Hürlimann brewery in Switzerland, this lager yeast's profile produces fairly neutral flavor beers with high drinkability
    • Fermentis active dry yeast offers reliability, ease-of-use, and consistency to home and professional beverage makers across the world

    Fermentis Saflager S-189 is an ideal lager strain for many lager and pilsner beers. It can ferment well within the temperature range of 54-64° F, but is ideally fermented between the tighter range of 54-59° F. Highly flocculant, this yeast falls out of suspension easy resulting in brilliantly clear beer. A great choice as a very tolerant strain that makes great lagers.

    This yeast can be pitched directly, but if you prefer to rehydrate, the instructions are below.

    Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort (we suggest 4 oz) at 70°F to 77°F (21 to 25 °C). Do not stir. Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.

    • Attenuation: 80-84%
    • Sedimentation Time: Fast
    • Alcohol Tolerance: 9-11% ABV
    • Optimum Fermentation Temp: 54-64°F

        Amazing dry lager yeast

        I used this recently to brew a simcoe pale lager at 50 degrees and repitched into an 11% ABV Baltic porter at 55 degrees. Worked perfectly in both, resulting in a beautifully clean, crisp, lagers. Handled the high gravity (1.107 OG) easily and attenuated down to 1.020. Definitely would recommend to anyone.
