Anyone used fermentis s-04 yeast? (2024)

FAQs

How long does it take for S-04 yeast to ferment? ›

My experience also is that S-04 will usually be done in a couple of days, less than 3, and yeah Nottingham is maybe even faster. My last batch with Nottingham finished in 48 hours, 12.7°P down to 1.5°P.

English ale brewer's yeast selected for its fast fermentation profile. Produces balanced fruity and floral notes.

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).

Fermentis Safale S-04 Yeast Features:

Attenuation: 72–82% Alcohol Tolerance: 9-11%

The surest way to establish whether or not a fermentation is complete is by measuring the specific gravity. You can do this using either a hydrometer or a refractometer.

Because they can ferment so hot, they can also ferment fast. Really fast.

Fermentation processes to produce wines, beers and ciders are traditionally carried out with Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, the most common and commercially available yeast.

Description - Fermentis dried brewing yeast SafAle S-04 11.5 g. Universal top-fermenting yeast with excellent sedimentation characteristics. Ensures rapid fermentation and low final gravity (1008-1012 SG = 2-3 °Plato).

36 months from production date. 7 days if opened.

Re: Safale US 05 fermentation length

I have used s04 and s05 quite a bit. IME it takes aboot 2 days to get going and usually finishes all activity within 3- 5 days, fg 1.010-1.012. I bottle condition all my beers and they come out pretty clear for not necessarily trying to make clear beer.

What is the best yeast for ethanol production? ›

The yeast S. cerevisiae is the organism of choice for the industrial production of ethanol and, as such, represents the largest industrial biotechnological utilization of yeast.

The most efficient fructose utilizing yeast is the Uvaferm 43™ YSEO®, whereas the least efficient is found to be the Lalvin 71B™ YSEO®.

Fermentis Safale S-04 is best known for its fast fermentation and high flocculation, which produces beers with improved clarity. With its fruity, floral notes, S-04 can create many different beer styles. This yeast is ideal for practically any American, English, or highly hopped style beer.

It's worth saying that S-04 is extremely quick to ferment out, I mostly use it in Bitter (typical OG 1.040-1.045) and I expect it to finish within about three days especially when it's being used in the low 20s.

If the yeast took off during the first 48 hours, as it should, let it ferment completely for seven to ten days. The first three days will be a vigorous fermentation; then, it will slow down significantly near the end of the seven days.

It is not recommended to leave the beer on the yeast for more than a month. However, by dumping the yeast (conical fermenters) or transferring off the yeast (flat bottom) this time can be extended.

Fermentation times can be shortened by using powdery (non-flocculent) strains of yeast or by mechanically stirring the fermenting wort. The yeast can also be roused toward the end of fermentation by the injection of carbon dioxide or by using a re-circulating device.
