SafBrew BR-8 Yeast
Add controlled, complex wild character to your finished beers with SafBrew BR-8 Yeast, the first dry Brettanomyces strain developed specifically for bottle and cask conditioning. This specialty yeast contributes distinctive aromas of leather, pineapple, spice, and subtle earthiness while maintaining fermentation stability, making it ideal for farmhouse, wild, and mixed-fermentation styles.
SafBrew BR-8 is intended for brewers who want Brett-derived complexity without the risks of over-attenuation. Unlike diastatic strains, BR-8 does not ferment dextrins, helping preserve body and prevent excessive carbonation during conditioning. This makes it well suited for Saisons, IPAs, and other styles that benefit from added funk after primary fermentation.
This strain performs within a fermentation temperature range of 59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit and is designed for use during bottle or cask conditioning rather than primary fermentation. One 5 gram packet treats up to approximately 13 gallons, depending on conditioning goals and desired flavor intensity.
To use, add BR-8 at packaging according to recommended dosing rates. Allow sufficient conditioning time for Brett character to develop gradually while maintaining stable carbonation levels.
Produced to professional brewing standards, SafBrew BR-8 Yeast provides a reliable way to introduce Brettanomyces-driven aroma and complexity with predictable, controlled results during conditioning.
