SafBrew™ BR-8 is the first Brettanomyces bruxellensis yeast available to brewers in a dry microgranular format.
It offers all the flavor benefits of other wild or propagated Brettanomyces cultures, but with more control, reliability, and shelf stability.

Selected specifically for secondary fermentation in bottles or casks, SafBrew™ BR-8 produces phenolic compounds that create a distinctive finishing touch which evolves over time as the beer is aged. Look for fruity notes early on (pineapple, dried fruit) with typically “funky” Brett character (barnyard, horse, leather) developing with additional cellar time.

Featured Testimonials

I really appreciate how user friendly and consistent Fermentis products are and I would absolutely recommend BR-8 to other brewers! It provided a crisp, clean tasting funk that we’ve struggled to Nice balanced sweetness with a berry-driven fruit character. It drops mash pH a bit more than regular oats, but nothing too drastic. I’m looking forward to getting it again! We have a brand we brew semi-regularly that we’ll be slotting it into.
