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.
Scale from 30°-120°F

SafLager E-30 is a bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus strain developed for brewers who want to combine traditional lager cleanliness with a more expressive ester profile. Unlike many classic lager strains, E-30 produces elevated fruit esters that contribute subtle banana and fresh fruit notes while maintaining a crisp, balanced finish.

With 80–84% attenuation and medium flocculation, SafLager E-30 produces a clean fermentation that finishes dry without stripping body. Yeast remains partially suspended during fermentation, helping develop its signature aromatic character before settling naturally as fermentation completes.

Designed to ferment between 53.6–64.4°F (12–18°C), SafLager E-30 performs consistently across a variety of lager brewing environments. The strain supports reliable fermentation from batch to batch while producing balanced, fruit-forward lagers with excellent drinkability.

SafLager E-30 is best suited for lager styles that benefit from enhanced fruit expression while maintaining the smooth, crisp character expected from bottom-fermented beers.

Ideal for:

  • Experimental Lagers
  • India Pale Lager (IPL)
  • Rice Lager
  • Helles
  • Festbier
  • Fruited Lagers
  • European Lagers
  • Contemporary fruit-forward lagers
