Fermentis SafBrew™ BR-8 yeast is a refermentation yeast for casks and bottles.
SafBrew™ BR-8 is the first Brettanomyces bruxellensis yeast available to brewers in a dry microgranulated format.
It offers all the taste benefits of "wild" Brett yeast, but with more control and reliability, eliminating the risk of over-carbonation and spouting after bottling.
Specifically selected for secondary fermentation in bottles or barrels, SafBrew™ BR-8 produces phenolic compounds that create a distinctive final touch, which evolves over time as the beer ages, with more funky notes (barnyard, horse, leather…) well balanced by refreshing and fruity aromas.
Important: to be used during bottle conditioning after fermentation with a maltotriose-positive yeast.
