Description
Bottom fermenting brewer’s yeast originating from Berlin in Germany. It’s recommended for the production of fruitier and more estery lagers. Its profile gives beers with a good length on the palate. Widely used by European commercial breweries. Best when fermented at low temperatures, yet can ferment at higher temperatures (16-20° C).
S-23 is a genuine German style dried lager yeast, developing the best of its lager notes under low-temperature fermentation (10-14° C). Good flocculation with excellent attenuation.

Please Note: For best results we Always recommend ordering an Ice Pack with your dry yeast. Ice Packs can be found below in the "Optional" section.
Direct Pitching:
Pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel on the surface of the wort at or above the fermentation temperature.
Rehydrate:
Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort (we suggest 110ml) at 21 to 25 °C. Do not stir. Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
