SafLager TM W-34/70 THE STRONG AND ROBUST LAGER YEAST, IDEAL FOR NEUTRAL BEERS SafLager™ W-34/70 is a famous brewer’s yeast strain fromWeihenstephan in Germany. It gives extremely clean flavors and produces highly drinkable beers over many different fermentations – even at higher temperatures. This means you can produce the same neutral beer with less time in the fermentation tank. SafLager™ W-34/70 produces very low esters, making it ideal for neutral lagers, such as Pilsners, Viennas and Schwarzbiers, as well as traditional and specialty lagers. SafLager TM SH-45 IDEAL FOR ENHANCING HOP THIOL RELEASE IN LAGER BEERS The newest addition to our SafLager™ range, this strain was selected for its ability to express aromatic compounds from the raw materials in beer, more specifically, the hops. SafLager™ SH-45 is ideal for expressing hop potential thanks to its ability to release and esterify thiols. As a result, lager beers crafted with SafLager™ SH-45 may present enhanced levels of fruitiness and intensified citrus and tropical notes. It is fantastic for crafting hop-forward lagers like New Zealand Pilsners, India Pale Lagers (IPL) and Cold IPAs. SafLager TM E-30 OUR STRONG ESTER-PRODUCING YEAST FOR FRUIT LAGER SafLager™ E-30 is the ideal choice for more aromatic and fruit-forward lagers. This lager strain produces higher levels of esters, especially fruity esters with banana characters. It’s a versatile choice, suitable for a broad range of lagers and fruit-oriented styles. SafLager™ E-30 is a great option for brewing craft and specialty lagers, especially aromatic versions, export lagers, strong lagers (such as Bocks), as well as hybrid styles such as Cold IPAs, California Common and Kolschs. SafLager TM S-189 A GREAT YEAST FOR ELEGANT LAGERS WITH FLORAL NOTES SafLager™ S-189 originates from the Hürlimann brewery in Switzerland. Its profile is suitable for brewing fairly fine-flavored lagers with high drinkability. Depending on brewing conditions, it tends to produce noticeable herbal and floral notes in lager beers. This yeast strain produces low to medium esters and can promote terpenes. SafLager™ S-189 is ideal for brewing traditional hoppy beers, such as Bohemian Pilsners, special lagers, and Cold IPAs. SafLager TM S-23 THE SOLUTION FOR FRUITY AND HOPPY LAGERS SafLager™ S-23 is a brewer’s yeast originating fromBerlin, Germany. It is recommended for more estery and complex lagers, from both malt or hoppy perspectives. SafLager™ S-23 is an ideal choice for Helles, Vienna Lagers, Märzens and hoppy lagers. SafLager TM LD-20 AN ALL-IN-1™ YEAST AND ENZYME BLEND FOR LOWER-CARB DRY LAGER BEERS SafBrew™ LD-20 is a unique blend of yeast and enzymes, capable of apparent attenuation between 98 and 100%. This makes it the ideal choice for brewing highly attenuated lager beers with up to 20% less carbohydrates (compared to beers brewed with the same yeast without enzymes).
