Fermentation Temp Range
Each yeast strain has a temperature range where it performs best. Lagers require cooler temps, while Kveik yeasts can ferment in extreme heat. Maintaining the proper fermentation temperature for each yeast strain is crucial its health. Matching a yeast's ideal range to your environment (or your ability to control temp) is key to getting clean, consistent results.

Description

Looking for yeast to ferment a dry, flavorful beer? Try SafBrew DA‑16 Yeast, a powerful yeast + enzyme combination that’s great for producing beers up to 16% ABV! This is a 25g packet intended for use in a 5 gallon batch of beer.

SafBrew DA 16 Yeast is an all in one solution ideal for crafting strong, dry, aromatic & crisp beers without off-flavors. It consists of yeast and enzymes. Together, this solution enhances the distinct hop characters and fruity esters in hop forward, dry beers such as Brut IPA. By using a Saccharomyces yeast that is POF- (Phenolic Off Flavor Negative), this solution doesn’t create phenols (clove or spicy flavor).

SafBrew DA‑16 Yeast exhibits high attenuation (98-102%), meaning the yeast and enzymes consume 98-102% of the sugars in the wort to produce a drier finish. The enzymes in DA 16 Yeast convert non-fermentable, more complex sugars into fermentable sugars. Those fermentable sugars are consumed by the yeast to create CO2, alcohol, and aromatic compounds. 

This solution thrives in a fermentation temperature range between 68 - 89.6ºF.

Style Applications:

Very dry and flavorful beers, including Brut IPAs.

Craft crisp, dry, high-gravity beers with SafBrew DA-16 Yeast, a specialized yeast and enzyme blend designed for expressive yet controlled fermentation. This 25 g format supports batches up to 5 gallons and enables alcohol levels up to 16% ABV, producing very dry beers that highlight hop character and fruity esters while minimizing phenolic off-flavors.

SafBrew DA-16 is intended for brewers creating hop-forward and modern high-gravity styles, including Brut IPAs and other dry, aromatic beers. The integrated enzyme system improves fermentability, allowing the yeast to break down complex sugars efficiently and achieve a clean, crisp finish without residual sweetness.

This strain delivers very high attenuation in the range of approximately 98 to 102 percent and performs best within a fermentation temperature range of 68 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Its fermentation profile supports enhanced aroma expression while maintaining balance and clarity in strong worts.

For best results, rehydrate the yeast according to manufacturer recommendations before pitching. Proper oxygenation and yeast nutrient use are recommended, particularly in high-gravity fermentations, to support healthy yeast performance and full attenuation.

Produced to professional brewing standards, SafBrew DA-16 Yeast provides a reliable solution for brewers seeking dry, high-alcohol beers with strong aroma expression and consistent fermentation results.
