Saflager S-189

Description

SafLager S-189 is a lager yeast strain originating from the Hürlimann brewery in Switzerland. It is known for its ability to brew fairly neutral flavor beers with a high drinkability. Depending on the conditions, it tends to present noticeable herbal and floral notes to lager beers. The yeast is composed of Saccharomyces pastorianus and is emulsified with E491. It is ideal for brewing Swiss lagers but can also suit other beer styles. The yeast can be pitched directly into the fermentation vessel or with prior rehydration, and it can be stored at room temperature for periods not exceeding three months without affecting its performance
