SafBrew DA‑16 Yeast

Craft crisp, dry, high-gravity beers with SafBrew DA-16 Yeast, a specialized yeast and enzyme blend designed for expressive yet controlled fermentation. This 25 g format supports batches up to 5 gallons and enables alcohol levels up to 16% ABV, producing very dry beers that highlight hop character and fruity esters while minimizing phenolic off-flavors.

SafBrew DA-16 is intended for brewers creating hop-forward and modern high-gravity styles, including Brut IPAs and other dry, aromatic beers. The integrated enzyme system improves fermentability, allowing the yeast to break down complex sugars efficiently and achieve a clean, crisp finish without residual sweetness.

This strain delivers very high attenuation in the range of approximately 98 to 102 percent and performs best within a fermentation temperature range of 68 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Its fermentation profile supports enhanced aroma expression while maintaining balance and clarity in strong worts.

For best results, rehydrate the yeast according to manufacturer recommendations before pitching. Proper oxygenation and yeast nutrient use are recommended, particularly in high-gravity fermentations, to support healthy yeast performance and full attenuation.

Produced to professional brewing standards, SafBrew DA-16 Yeast provides a reliable solution for brewers seeking dry, high-alcohol beers with strong aroma expression and consistent fermentation results.
