BERLIN is a popular German yeast strain for producing lagers with soft malt character and balanced esters
An ideal choice for Bocks, Oktoberfests, and American amber lagers
Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required
Ferment between 50-59°F
CellarScience offers high-quality yeast that is easy to use, consistent, and available at a tremendous value
A popular yeast strain with a Berlin lineage that is famous for producing amazing lagers with soft malt character and balanced esters. Like all CellarScience yeast, BERLIN is eligible for direct pitch straight into your wort. CellarScience provides 12g of yeast per sachet, which is up to 9% more than any other brand of dry yeast. Every batch of yeast is PCR tested to ensure quality. BERLIN has been selling to pro breweries for awhile but was just recently packaged down to sachets for homebrewers.
Dosage:
Two sachets are enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2.5–4 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly.
Direct Pitch or Rehydrate:
BERLIN yeast is designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no oxygenation required in the initial fermentation. Our aerobic growth process makes this possible by creating dry yeast with high viability and high sterol levels. BERLIN yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients to ensure a successful, complete fermentation. While not required, some brewers prefer to rehydrate yeast. To hydrate yeast, first, sanitize the yeast brick and scissors. Use 10 grams of sterilized tap water between 85-95°F (29-35°C) mixed with 0.25 grams of FermStart per gram of yeast. Sprinkle yeast on the water. Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 10°F (6°C) of wort temperature before pitching. Ferment between 50-59°F (10-15°C).
Optimum Fermentation Temp: 50-59°F

CellarScience Yeast:
For years liquid yeast has been sold as the higher quality option but times are changing. Yes, 20 years ago dry yeast was made by bread yeast producers and the quality was not as good as liquid yeast. CellarScience is helping to flip that script with a full lineup of high-quality dry yeasts. Cell count and viability is usually higher than commercial liquid yeast pitches, which vary from pouch to pouch and don't ship well. CellarScience yeast can be pitched directly in most batches of wort, offering significant time savings. Yeast that is quick and easy to use, high quality, and available at a reasonable cost adds up to a tremendous value. Quality yeast that doesn't "break the brink".
CellarScience Nutrients:
For high gravity ferments consider rehydrating yeast with CellarScience FermStart yeast hydration nutrient. For high gravity or low nutrient wort, feed your fermentation with CellarScience FermFed DAP Free complex yeast nutrient mix.

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
Please note: Example image shows a 20g sachet. The correct size is 25g. Updated image coming soon.

Attenuation: 78-85% Flocculation: Medium Alcohol Tolerance: 15%+ ABV Optimum Fermentation Temp: 68-85°F Cell Count: 150 Billion For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast. Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.
