Safbrew BR-8 Dry Brett Brewing Yeast
SafBrew™ BR-8 is the first Brettanomyces bruxellensis yeast available to brewers in a dry format in a 5g package. BR-8 is designed for bottling and/or cask conditioning. 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. BR-8 has the ability to ferment glucose, fructose, maltose, and maltotriose exclusively. BR-8 is non-diastaticus meaning it will not ferment dextrins, preventing over-attenuation in bottling. Selected specifically for secondary fermentation in bottles or casks, SafBrew™ BR-8 produces phenolic compounds that create a distinctive finishing touch that evolves over 1 -3 months, with funkier notes (barnyard, horse, leather…) nicely balanced by refreshing, fruity notes. Younger beers will display aromas of pineapple and light funk as the beer ages funk and leather notes increase. SafBrew™ BR-8 should be rehydrated before being added to beer. SafBrew™ BR-8 Featu
