Description

An All-In-1™ yeast & enzyme blend for lower carb* dry Lager beers. SafBrew™ LD-20 is the perfect choice for the production of very dry and neutral lager beers with reduced residual sugars. SafBrew™ LD-20 is made of both active dry yeast and enzymes and allows the production of beers containing the same level of alcohol with a reduction of up to 20% of carbohydrates including dextrins.

Flavour/Aroma

SafBrew™ LD-20 is an All-In-1™ solution from Fermentis especially for dry lagers with a fairly neutral flavor profile. With the influence of the selected yeast, this solution performs in many different brewing conditions, at low temperature fermentation.

Usage

Direct pitch: 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.

With prior rehydration: Alternatively, sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight of sterile water or boiled and hopped wort at 21°C to 25°C (69°F to 77°F). Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes, gently stir and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
