This strain is unable to assimilate maltose and maltotriose, meaning it will only ferment the simplest sugars in the wort. By creating a fairly clear wort with not too much sugar, it is easy to produce very pleasant low alcohol craft beers, with a subtle aroma profile especially in combination with the right malt and hop bills; and possibly also with some other micro organism like bacteria; to enhance flavor profile and drinkability. SafBrew™ LA-01 is however POF+, meaning it can produce some minor phenolic or spicy notes.

This can be a potential issue, since external contaminants – i.e. other yeasts and bacteria – could start fermenting the remaining sugar. Therefore, we consider pasteurization as a critical step in the process of making low and no-alcohol beer using this product. Pasteurization?
