Fermentis SafSpirit Dry Spirit Yeast Brick [FD-3] (500 g)

This Fermentis SafSpirit FD-3 is a fructophilic distilling yeast specifically recommended for fruit fermentation. Reported as a generally neutral strain, it can produce refined and balanced esters in certain conditions, allowing the natural character of the substrate to shine through. With its low nitrogen demand and high resistance to alcohol, it is an excellent choice for producing fruit distillates such as calvados, pear brandy and other brandies, and it also delivers very good results in agave distillates.

For best results it should be stored below 15°C (59°F) in dry conditions, where it remains stable until the best before date printed on the packaging. These yeast bricks are for brewing large batches at one time, or pinching off quantities for smaller volumes of brew. Once opened if you are not using the entire brick it should be placed in a bag, vacuum sealed and returned to a cool, dry, storage area at 4°C (59°F), where it remains stable for up to 7 days. Doing this will help to preserve the yeasts fermenting ability and reduce the risk of contamination of the remaining yeast.
