SAFALE BE134

The obvious choice for highly attenuated beers with phenolic character such as Belgian-saison style.
The SafAle™ BE-134 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus and is characterized by a particularly high attenuation. This typical yeast strain is recommended for Belgian Saison-style beers. It gives fruity aromas with a slight spicy character (POF+) such as clove notes. This strain will bring highly refreshing and drinkable beers.

Ingredients
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus), emulsifier E491.

Dosage/Temperature
50 to 80 g/hl at ideally 18-28°C (64.4-82.4°F).

Usage
Lesaffre know-how and continuous yeast production process improvement generates an exceptional quality of dry yeasts able to resist to a very wide range of uses, incl. cold or no rehydration conditions, without affecting their viability, kinetic and/or analytical profile. Brewers can choose usage conditions that fit the best their needs, i.e.:

① Direct pitching:
Pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel on the surface of the wort at or above the fermentation temperature. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available to avoid clumps. Ideally, the yeast will be added during the first part of the filling of the vessel; in which case hydration can be done at wort temperature higher than fermentation temperature, the fermenter being then filled with wort at lower temperature to bring the entire wort temperature at fermentation temperature.

② With prior rehydration:
Alternatively, sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight of sterile water or boiled and hopped wort at 25 to 29°C (77°F to 84°F). Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes, gently stir and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.

Fermentis dry brewing yeasts are well known for their ability to produce a large variety of beer styles. In order to compare our strains, we ran fermentation trials in laboratory conditions with a standard wort for all the strains and standard temperature conditions (SafLager: 12°C for 48h then 14°C / SafAle: 20°C). We focused on the following parameters: Alcohol production, residual sugars, flocculation and fermentation kinetic. Given the impact of yeast of the quality of the final beer it is recommended to respect the recommended fermentation instructions. We strongly advise users to make fermentation trials before any commercial usage of our products.

Ingredients
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), emulsifier E491.

Dosage/Temperature
From 2 to 35g/hl at 15-25°C (59-77°F).

Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir.

Usage
Add 5 to 10 grams of sugar per liter of beer (to obtain a saturation of 2.5 to 5.0 g/l of CO2). Pitch the sweetend beer, that should be at fermentation temperature (20-25°C) with the rehydrated yeast.
Carbonation will be achieved in 1 to 2 weeks at 20-25°C*
At the end of refermentation, the beer can be cooled down and will gain in roundness after 2 to 3 weeks.
* carbonation at 15°C can take over 2 weeks
