SafBrew DW‑17 Yeast

Brew dry, complex, high-alcohol beers with SafBrew DW-17 Yeast, a specialized yeast and enzyme blend designed for strong and expressive fermentations. This 25 g format is suitable for batches up to 5 gallons and supports alcohol levels up to 17% ABV, producing beers with fruity, woody, and subtly tart character along with a crisp, dry finish.

SafBrew DW-17 is intended for brewers crafting saisons, wild ales, and high-gravity specialty beers where deep attenuation and complexity are desired. The integrated enzyme system allows for exceptional fermentability, helping break down complex sugars and drive fermentation to completion without residual sweetness.

This strain delivers very high attenuation in the range of approximately 98 to 102 percent and performs best within a fermentation temperature range of 68 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The result is a clean yet expressive profile that enhances dryness while contributing layered flavor development.

For best results, rehydrate the yeast according to manufacturer recommendations before pitching. Proper oxygenation and yeast nutrient use are recommended, especially in high-gravity worts, to support healthy fermentation and full attenuation.

Produced to professional brewing standards, SafBrew DW-17 Yeast provides a reliable option for brewers seeking controlled, high-performance fermentation for strong and distinctive beer styles.
