Description

Fermentis SafBrew HA-18 yeast

SafBrew HA-18 is a powerful yeast solution for the production of high-gravity and particularly high alcoholic beers – such as strong ales, barley wines and barrel aged beers with a very high density. It has a very good resistance to osmotic pressure and high fermentation temperatures. This yeast produces a lot of flavours in the final beer, thanks to high ester release. This mix will also produce phenols, giving a potentially clove or spicy flavour to the finished beer.

This yeast is pack contains yeast, active dry brewer's yeast and enzymes.  Only one pack is needed in a high gravity wort.
