Fermentis SafSpirit HG-1 Distiller Yeast 500 g

Fermentis SafSpirit HG-1 is a home distilling yeast option for very high gravity washes, including sugar washes, grain mashes, potato or other starch-based substrates, sugar cane substrates, agave juice, and fruit-based ferments. It is generally used when higher alcohol tolerance is needed.

This 500 g pack is much larger than a single hobby batch, so measure carefully for small fermentations. For a typical 23 L batch, use roughly 7 to 12 g, with the higher end of that range being more appropriate for high gravity washes or more demanding fermentation conditions.

HG-1 is listed for 25 to 35°C fermentation and can reach up to 18% v/v alcohol depending on the process and substrate. For sugar washes or very high gravity recipes, proper nutrients and temperature control are especially important.
