SafBrew BR-8

SafBrew BR-8 is the first Brettanomyces bruxellensis yeast available to brewers in a dry microgranular format.
It offers all the taste advantages of "wild" Brett yeast, but with more control and reliability, eliminating the risk of overcarbonation and gushing after bottling.
Specifically selected for secondary fermentation in bottles or barrels, SafBrew BR-8 produces phenolic compounds that create a distinctive final touch that evolves over time as the beer ages, with funkier notes (barnyard, horse, leather...) well balanced by refreshing and fruity notes.

Characteristics:

Optimal fermentation temperature 15°C – 25°C.
Seeding rate: generally 5-10 g / hl recommended: 10g / hl

Sprinkle the yeast in at least 10 times its weight of sterile water at a temperature of 25°C to 29°C.
Let stand for 15 to 30 minutes. Stir gently until a yeast cream is obtained.
Add 5 to 10 grams of sugar per liter of beer to achieve additional saturation of 2.5 to 5.0 g/L of CO2.
Re-seed the sugared beer at fermentation temperature with the rehydrated yeast.

Substitutes: Wyeast 5112, WLP650
