Yeast  / brewer’s yeast

Yeast is probably still the most mystic ingredient in beer production. Not only the selection of the proper yeast strain has great impact on taste and flavor of the final product. As a living creature yeast is demanding diligent care and treatment from the brewer. Only a yeast with high vitality and optimal physiology can guarantee highest results.

B.U.B. Speckner has been dedicated to this exciting ingredient since decades and therefor can offer a unique range of products and services about yeast.

  • Especially mid-sized breweries benefit from our pure-culture-services. We raise your yeast-strains from pure-culture and deliver the new batch for your propagation in “Carlsberg flask”
  • Over the years we managed to build up a network with well-known partner breweries. So we can provide our classics the lager beer strain 365 “Augusta” and our wheat beer strain 362 in any amount needed.
  • The Craft-Brewing movement has enriched beer culture enormously during the last years. While at first the opportunities of hops had been tried out, the focus is now more and more put on yeast. With no limits to creativity. B.U.B. Speckner supports Craft-Brewers with a unique choice of speciality-yeasts, propagated as thick-yeast in ready-to-pitch amounts. Due to intelligent logistics we are able to deliver to almost every place in Europe over night without disrupting cold chain.

Gerne nehmen wir auch „Ihren“ Stamm in unsere Hefebank mit auf und führen ihn auf die erforderliche Menge.
Es kommen laufend neue Hefestämme dazu. Schauen Sie also immer mal wieder vorbei!

Classics

Our bottom-fermenting classic is the first choice for all kinds of lager beers. This yeast is equivalente to the famous strain W 34/40. We cultivate it together with selected partner breweries. So we can guarantee short-term supply of any amount needed as well as pure culture from our yeast-bank.

beer-character: mild, very-clean lager beers

flavor: very pure

fermentation properties:

  • Quick and complete reduction of diacetyl
  • High flocculation
  • Good proliferation
  • High attenuation

Broad temperature-range

Our top-fermenting classicis the first choice for the production of typically Bavarian fruit-flavored wheat-beers. We cultivate it together with selected partner breweries. So we can guarantee short-term supply of any amount needed as well as pure culture from our yeast-bank.

beer-character: typically Bavarian wheat-beers, fruity-estery

flavor: fine, top-fermentation flavor, fruity-estery, banana

Also suitable for strong wheat-beers and Weizenbock

Lager Beers

Powdery yeast stay suspended in the beer and show only very slow sedimentation. This results in extraordinary attenuation and consistent haze.

Used for:

  • Unfiltered lager beers
  • Second fermentation

beer-character: crisp, mild lagers

fermentation properties: very high attenuation, low flocculation
