Marcelo Cerdan, Fermentis Director of Sales for Americas, presents SafSpirit™ WFF-8—engineered to unlock the full aromatic potential of malt and grain new make spirits.
Technical Specifications
Fermentation Parameters:
• Temperature Range: 20-32°C (68-89.6°F); may ferment at lower temperatures with slower kinetics
• Sugar Fermentation: Monosaccharides (glucose, fructose), disaccharides (maltose), trisaccharides (maltotriose), and dextrins
• Alcohol Yields: Exceeds 12% ABV with low residual sugars
• Dosage: 30-80 g/hL (0.04-0.10 oz/gal) — adjust based on fermentation temperature, attenuation, and desired organoleptic profile
Microbiological Quality:
• Viable Cells: more 15 x 10⁹ CFU/g
• Dry Weight: 94.0-96.5%
• Total Bacteria: less 1 CFU/10⁷ yeast cells
• Acetic Acid Bacteria: less 1 CFU/10⁸ yeast cells
• Lactic Acid Bacteria: less 1 CFU/10⁷ yeast cells
• Pathogenic Micro-organisms: In accordance with regulation
Flavor Profile:
• Aromatic Expression: Floral and fresh fruit notes
• Sugar Assimilation: Exceptional ability to ferment maltotriose and dextrins without exogenous enzymes
• Versatility: Handles high levels of fermentable sugars for premium spirit expressions
Pitching Methods:
• Direct Inoculation: Sprinkle active dry yeast directly over fermentation medium at or above fermentation temperature
• With Rehydration: Sprinkle yeast into 10x volume of fermentation media or water at 25-35°C, rest 15 minutes, then inoculate
Storage & Shelf Life:
• Shelf Life: 4 years from production date
• Storage Conditions: Dry conditions, protected from direct heat; ambient temperatures below 25°C for up to 6 months
• Temperature Peaks: Up to 40°C allowed for limited periods (less 5 days)
• Prolonged Storage: Below 15°C recommended for storage beyond 6 months
• Opened Sachets: Seal and store at 4°C; use within 7 days
Packaging:
• 20 x 500g sachets per box (10 kg total)
• 1 x 10kg bulk sachet option
Quality Assurance: Developed under Fermentis' specific production scheme with Lesaffre's world-leading yeast manufacturing expertise—guaranteeing highest microbiological purity and maximum fermentation activity.
