[edit] Saflager Strains
[edit] Saflager S-23
A bottom fermenting lager strain.
[edit] Saflager W-34/70

[edit] Safale Strains
It is not clear why the Fermentis top fermenting strains are divided into Safale and Safbrew categories. However, it does appear that the Safale strains are a little more generic and general purpose whilst the Safbrew strains are more for speciality beers.
[edit] Safale S-04
For typical English style ales.
[edit] Safale US-05
Safale US-05 is the dry version of Chico. US-05 is a very clean fermenting yeast for use in many American Ale styles. Many home brewers have switched to US-05 from 1056 or WPL001 due to the cost, long term storage capability, and ease of using dry yeast.
- Temperature Range: 59-75°F
- Sedimentation: Medium
- Final Gravity: Low to Medium
The yeast used to be caleld US-56, however due to issues with wyeast claiming that the name was too similar to their 1056, the name was changed.
[edit] Safbrew Strains
Like the Safale strains, these are top fermenting ale yeasts but might be considered more for speciality beers (although T-58 and S-33 for example might be considered a fairly generic yeasts for Belgian brewing).
[edit] Safbrew T-58
A Belgian/Trappist strain with high alcohol tolerance.
[edit] Safbrew S-33
A Belgian/Trappist strain with high alcohol tolerance.
[edit] Safbrew WB-06
A wheat beer strain for weizen or witbier styles.
