How do you pitch a SafAle s-04?

Fermentis SafAle™ S-04 Yeast Pitching/Fermentation : Sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort at 25 to 29°C (77°F to 84°F). Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.

What is the difference between SafAle 04 and 05?

Both yeasts are cold-tolerant and fast. S-04 attenuates less and is more fruity/minerally than US-05 at low temps (58º F – 64º F). US-05 is much cleaner at moderate ale temps (65º F – 69º F).

How long does s-04 take to ferment?

Fast Fermenter In just 2 or 3 of days of activity and the krausen (yeast head) at the height of fermentation will fall back into the beer.

How is pitch rate calculated?

Pitching rate or final cell count , C2 = number of cells/ml when diluted in final volume of wort to be fermented. To determine final cell count C2, use the dilution equation C1 X V1 = C2 X V2, where C1 is the cell count shown on RBY yeast product label, V1 is the volume of slurry used, and V2 is final volume of wort.

How long does Safale yeast last?

Shelf life 36 months from production date. Refer to best before end date printed on the sachet. Opened sachets must be sealed and stored at 4°C (39°F) and used within 7 days of opening.

What does yeast attenuation mean?

Attenuation is the degree to which yeast ferments the sugar in a wort or must. If you have 50% attenuation it means that 50% of the sugars have been converted into alcohol and CO2 by yeast. If you have 100% attenuation, all of the sugars have been consumed by yeast.

What is yeast pitch rate?

The term pitch rate refers to the amount of yeast that is added to cooled wort. Pitch rate is generally referred to in cells per milliliter.

How do you calculate yeast pitch?

According to our pitching calculator, with dry yeast, using the mfg’s number of 6B cells/g, to hit a pitch rate of 0.75 (M cells / ml / ° P) for a 5 gallon batch @1.050 would require 3x 11g packs!

What temp Can I pitch Safale 05?

Thanks for the feedback! US-05 will throw a peach flavor noticeable in lighter style beers and lightly hopped stouts when the fermentation temperature is below 65°F. It is best to pitch the yeast within 5°F to 10°F of the fermentation temperature.

How long does Safale 05 take to ferment?

Re: Safale US 05 fermentation length IME it takes aboot 2 days to get going and usually finishes all activity within 3- 5 days, fg 1.010-1.012.
