Fermentis SafLager™ S-189 - 2.5 kg

SafLager™ S-189 is the go-to choice for brewers who refuse to compromise on clarity and drinkability. Unlike other lager strains, it is distinguished by very low production of diacetyl and sulphur compounds, even when used for high-gravity brews.

Its high sedimentation ensures rapid natural clarification, making cellar work easier and reducing the need for fining agents. Whether you are brewing a crystal-clear Pilsner, a malty Helles, or a powerful Doppelbock, S-189 ensures a stable and predictable fermentation.

Why choose SafLager™ S-189?

• Temperature Versatility: While its optimum range is between 12°C and 15°C, it maintains excellent results up to 22°C for more modern profiles.
• E2U™ Technology: This yeast can be pitched directly into cold wort, simplifying your brewing operations without compromising cell viability.
• Superior Flocculation: Rapid sedimentation that helps achieve perfect visual brilliance in the finished product.
