Fermentis SafBrew™ BR-8 Dry Brett Yeast

SafBrew™ BR-8 is the first Brettanomyces bruxellensis yeast available to brewers in a dry micro granular format.It offers all the flavor benefits of ‘wild’ Brett yeast, but with more control and reliability, eliminating the risk of over-carbonation and gushing after bottling.Selected specifically for secondary fermentation in bottles or casks, SafBrew™ BR-8 produces phenolic compounds that create a distinctive finishing touch which evolves over time as the beer is aged, with funkier notes (barnyard, horse, leather…) nicely balanced by refreshing, fruity notes.
