Fermentis SafSpirit Dry Spirit Yeast Brick [USW-6] (500 g)

This Fermentis SafSpirit USW-6 is a distilling yeast widely regarded as the best performing strain for American whiskey production. It is the natural choice for top bourbon distillers and other American whiskey producers, delivering a very good and delicate congener profile that complements barrel aging beautifully. It performs reliably across all kinds of grains and grain blends, and while it is a favourite for US-style whiskies it is equally well suited to other grain distilled beverages destined for barrel maturation.

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.
