Description
SafLager S-189 100 g – lager yeast for clean, neutral pilsner
The S-189 yeast strain from Fermentis originates from the Hürlimann brewery in Switzerland. Its profile makes it possible to brew beers with a fairly neutral flavour and high drinkability, where malt and hops take centre stage. Depending on the conditions, it often gives noticeable herbal and floral notes in pilsner.
The 100 g pack suits larger batches and small breweries.

What temperature should S-189 ferment at?
The ideal fermentation temperature is 12–18 °C.
Does the yeast need rehydrating?
