General Description

 

With a resistance to high fermentation temperatures and a good tolerance to high gravity mashes, the High Temperature neutral yeast is an excellent choice for a wide variety of different alcohol fermentations including but not limited to sugar washes, grain mashes, fruit fermentations and more.

 

Characteristics

 

This yeast produces a neutral fermentation profile.

This yeast has an alcohol tolerance of up to 18% ABV.

This sachet does include a mix of yeast and yeast nutrients.

 

Fermentation Guidelines

 

The optimal fermentation temperature for this yeast is around 25 - 37°C

 

Though fermentation temperatures below and above this temperature range are possible, lower fermentation temperatures will produce a slower rate of fermentation, and even stagnation below 15°C, higher temperatures may create an increase in ester production.

 

It is recommended to use one full packet of BrewersDIY High Temperature Neutral Yeast for every 25L of mash.

 

Direct pitching

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 in sterile water 25 - 29°C. Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes, gently stir and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.

Storage

For less than 6 months: the product must be stored below 24°C. For more than 6 months: the product must be stored below 15°C.  For short periods not exceeding 7 days there is an exception to these rules.
