SafBrew™ BR-8 is the first Brettanomyces bruxellensis yeast available to brewers in a dry microgranular 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.
Species: Brettanomyces bruxellensis
Fermentation Temp Range: 59°F – 77°F
Pitch Rate: 5g / 26 Gallons
Note: one 5g sachet can be used to treat a 5 gallon batch but may produce a haze.
Instructions of use:
** SafBrewTM BR-8 should not be rehydrated directly in the beer **
Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water at a temperature of 77°F to 84.2°F. One 5g packet should be rehydrated in 50 ml of sterile water. Leave to rest for 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir until obtaining a yeast cream.
Add rehydrated yeast and priming sugar to your beer. Carbonation will be achieved in 1 to 3 months. At the end of the refermentation, the beer can be chilled down and will gain in roundness after 2 to 3 weeks. Carbonation at lower end temperatures (e.g. 59°F) can take over 3 months.
