Frequently Asked Questions

Which Fermentis yeast should I use for a British bitter?

SafAle S-04 is an English ale strain that ferments fast and drops clear, which suits bitters and cask-style ales.

How many sachets do I need for 23 litres?

For the ale strains, one 11.5g sachet meets Fermentis's minimum dose of 50g per hectolitre. For the lager strains, Fermentis recommends 80-120g per hectolitre, so use two sachets.

Do I have to rehydrate the yeast?

No. Fermentis allows direct pitching onto the wort surface, or rehydrating in sterile water for 15-30 minutes first.

How should I store the sachets?

Below 24°C for up to 6 months, or below 15°C for longer storage. Opened sachets should be resealed, kept at 4°C and used within 7 days.
