The optimal yeast for revealing the esters in Lager beers, Fermentis SafLager™ E-30 produces higher levels of esters than other SafLager™ strains. When fermented at higher temperatures, some subtle isoamyl acetate production is possible. More attenuative than S-33 and S-189, SafLager™ E-30 is low in sulfur and diacetyl production. Featuring nice flocculation and sedimentation, it is suitable for various Asian-style lagers, Mexican lagers, Australasian lagers, American Light lagers and more. Sold in 11.5g sachets.
