SafAle S-33 Ale Dry Yeast 11.5g

SafAle S-33 Ale Yeast

SafAle S-33 is a fruity ale yeast with lower attenuation, helping leave more body and mouthfeel in the finished beer. It is particularly useful when you want a rounder, fuller result rather than a very dry finish.

Its versatility suits Belgian-style ales, strong English ales and modern hop-forward beers such as New England IPA where residual body can support a softer mouthfeel.

Yeast Details

• Yeast Type: Ale yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
• Pack Size: 11.5g
• Fermentation Temperature: Ideally 18–26°C
• Apparent Attenuation: Low

How to Use

S-33 can be pitched directly onto the wort or rehydrated before pitching. Keep fermentation within the recommended temperature range and use the manufacturer's pitching rate for your batch size.

Substitutes

For fuller, lower-attenuation British-style ales, LalBrew Windsor is a useful alternative, although its flavour profile is more traditionally English. For hazy, hop-forward beers, LalBrew New England gives a more purpose-built juicy East Coast profile and attenuates more strongly.

Brewer's Tip

S-33 is a good tool when body is part of the recipe. If you are trying to make a very dry beer, choose a more attenuative strain instead.
