Safbrew T-58

[Chris The Fish]

Im planning on doing a Brewferm Grand Cru for christmas this year, and although the brewferm yeasts are always excellent i noticed that this yeast gives good 'peppery and spicey' notes with High attenuation.

Has anyone had any use of this yeast?

I plan to pitch 22g of it into 18l of Grand Cru to get it to 8% or there abouts.

should i stick with the supplied yeast (which will be 12g, 2x 6g packets) and will this be enough for 8%?

It makes good with and supposable not bad triples, saisons


You may need 1.5 (11g) packs for that beer, what is the gravity and volume and Mr malty can determine the exact amount of yeast needed

I've used this yeast in 2 wheat beer with coriander and it is really good, a distinct flavour and it sediments out pretty well too (although this means it wouldn't be so good for a hefeweisen.) I've grown to love all of the Fermentis yeasts.

I've used it in a Belgian style Witbier and it was really nice. Doesn't give you the German hefeweizen taste, but its nice for the spicer, peppery Wits.

Agreed. I brewed a wit a couple of weekends ago with T-58. I used it instead of my original choice Brewferm Blanche as I didn't want the hefe characteristics. The sneaky samples smelled/tasted a bit funky early on but it's cleaned up since and I think it's going to work well.
