The Story
- SH-45 is the ideal lager yeast to enhance hop thiol release
- Expect enhanced levels of fruitiness and intensified citrus and tropical notes
- Fermentis active dry yeast offers reliability, ease-of-use, and consistency to home and professional beverage makers across the world
SafLager™ SH-45 is a carefully selected lager yeast, ideal for expressing some of the aromatic compounds coming from the raw materials in beer, more specifically the hops. This strain possesses the capability to release and esterify thiols. As a result, beers crafted with SafLagerTM SH-45 may present enhanced levels of fruitiness with intensified citrus and tropical notes.
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: 77-82%
- Sedimentation Time: Medium
- Alcohol Tolerance: 9-11% ABV
- Optimum Fermentation Temp: 54-64°F
