S-189
Species : Lager Fermentation Temp Range (F) : 48-59, ideally 53 Apparent Attenuation Range (%) : 70-80 Flocculation : Medium Alcohol Tolerance : Medium
Pitching/Fermentation : Sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort at 21 to 25 C (70F to 77F). Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes.
Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
Alternatively, pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C (68F). Progressively
sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes,
then mix the wort using aeration or by wort addition.
Notes : Originating from the Hrlimann brewery in Switzerland. This lager strains attenuation profile allows to brew fairly neutral flavor beers with a
high drinkability
