SafAle S-33 is a fruity dry ale yeast from Fermentis that gives the beer good mouthfeel and body. It suits Belgian styles such as blond, dubbel, tripel and quadrupel, and strong English ales such as imperial stout. S-33 is also a good choice for NEIPA: fermented at 20–22 °C it gives a distinct tropical and citrus aroma. The 500 g pack is intended for breweries and larger batches.

How to use S-33
Fermentis states that S-33 can be pitched directly onto the wort or rehydrated first. To rehydrate, sprinkle the yeast into at least 10 times its weight of sterile water or boiled and hopped wort at 25–29 °C. Leave for 15–30 minutes, stir gently and add the mixture to the fermenter.
Store the yeast below 24 °C for up to 6 months, and below 15 °C for longer storage. Opened sachets must be sealed, stored at 4 °C and used within 7 days.
