The obvious choice for very high gravity beers
SafBrew™ HA-18 is a powerful solution (consisting of POF+ Active Dry Brewer’s Yeast and enzymes) for the production of high-gravity and particularly high alcoholic beers – such as strong ales, barley wines and barrel aged beers with very high density. It has a very good resistance to osmotic pressure and high fermentation temperatures (thermotolerant yeast).
Ingredients: Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Maltodextrin, Glucoamylase from Aspergillus niger (EC 3.2.1.3), Emulsifier E491 (sorbitan monostearate)
This product is All-In-1™
Understanding All-In-1™
All-In-1™ is a brand of specifically blended products, which can be made from a mix of micro-organisms, catalysts, nutrients and more.
There are occasions when a single micro-organism is not enough. Thanks to our extensive experience and research into fermentation, we are constantly developing new products to meet the expectations of beverage makers throughout the world.
A typical example of an All-In-1™ product are the mix of yeast and enzymes. The combination of both working together achieves high sugar attenuation, for stronger and dryer beers.
SafBrew™ HA-18 overview
SafBrew™ HA-18 sensory profile
SafBrew™ HA-18 is powerful solution which will produce a lot of flavours in the final beer, thanks to high ester release. This mix will also produce phenols, giving a potentially clove or spicy flavour to the beverage.
SafBrew™ HA-18 technical features
Dosage / Temperature
100 to 160 g/hl at ideally 25°C – 35°C (77.0°F – 95.0°F).
Use
① Direct pitching:
Direct pitch in the fermentor at fermentation temperature at 25°C – 35 °C (77.0°F – 95.0°F).
② With prior rehydration:
o Rehydrate the yeast in 10 times its volume of water or wort at 25°C – 37 °C (77.0°F – 98.6°F).
o Leave to rest for 15 minutes
o Gently stir
o Pitch in the fermentor
