SafLager E-30 Lager Dry Yeast is designed for brewers who want clean, reliable fermentations with bright, fruity character. This strain produces subtle banana and fruit esters while maintaining the crisp profile expected from modern and traditional lager styles. It performs well across a range of brewing setups and supports consistent results from batch to batch.
SafLager E-30 offers fermentation advantages that benefit both new and experienced brewers. Its medium attenuation of 80 to 84 percent creates a balanced finish without overly drying the beer, and its moderate flocculation leaves a light, powdery haze that occurs naturally when yeast remains partially suspended. The strain is well suited for lager styles that benefit from expressive ester notes, including Helles, India Pale Lagers, Festbier, and fruited lagers.
This yeast is a bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus strain supplied in an 11.5 g dry format. It is formulated to ferment between 53.6 and 64.4°F, allowing flexibility for different fermentation chambers, cool basements, or temperature-controlled systems. One packet is intended for a 5 to 8 gallon batch of beer, providing adequate cell counts for standard homebrew volumes.
SafLager E-30 can be pitched directly into cooled wort without requiring hydration or a starter. Brewers may optionally pair it with nutrients or a yeast energizer to support fermentation health, especially in high-gravity or heavily adjuncted recipes. Carbonation drops or priming sugar can be used during packaging depending on the brewer’s preferred method.
Crafted for dependable performance and clear flavor expression, SafLager E-30 supports lagers that combine clean fermentation with gentle fruit complexity. Its predictable behavior and temperature tolerance make it a reliable choice for homebrewers seeking consistent lager results across a variety of styles.
