SafSpirit™ HG-1 Fermentis by Lesaffre Yeast is the choice for very high gravity fermentations.

SafSpirit™ HG-1 Fermentis by Lesaffre Yeast is used for Very High Gravity (VHG) fermentation. High tolerance to ethanol, able to reach 18% v/v, depending on the process and substrate. Very good resistance to the osmotic pressure and high fermentation temperatures (thermotolerant yeast). This strain achieves good yields when fermenting at VHG, allowing maximized production capacity, generating incredible savings in energy. Generally produces neutral alcohol profiles.

Ferments all kind of mashes, worts, or juices produced from any kind of grain, potatoes or other type of starches, sugar cane substrates, agave or tequila juice, and pure sugar solutions.
