SafLager S-23 Berlin Lager Dry Yeast

Brew clean, crisp lagers with subtle fruity character using SafLager S-23 Berlin Lager Yeast, a classic German strain designed for smooth, well-balanced fermentation. This yeast produces refreshing lagers with restrained esters and gentle hop expression, making it well suited for both American and European-style lager recipes.

SafLager S-23 is intended for brewers seeking reliable lager fermentation with a slightly fruit-forward profile compared to more neutral strains. It performs consistently across traditional lager styles, supporting balanced malt character while allowing hops to remain expressive without sharpness.

This dry lager yeast features high flocculation and an attenuation range of approximately 80 to 84 percent, contributing to clear beer and a crisp finish. It performs best within a fermentation temperature range of 55 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Each 11.5 gram packet is suitable for fermenting approximately 5 to 8 gallons of beer, depending on wort gravity and pitching practices.

For best results, rehydrate the yeast prior to pitching and maintain steady fermentation temperatures within the recommended range. Proper oxygenation and yeast nutrition can further support clean fermentation and consistent attenuation, especially in higher gravity lagers.

Widely used by home and professional brewers for dependable lager fermentation, SafLager S-23 provides consistent performance and balanced flavor development for a wide range of crisp, drinkable lager styles
