Mauribrew Lager 497 yeast is used globally by breweries & home brewers alike. Mauribrew Lager 497 is a bottom fermenting lager yeast that produces highly desirable flavour characteristics consistent with quality lager beer. This strain has low oxygen requirements through fermentation. Forms no yeast head throughout fermentation and has a temperature range between 12-30°C. With a quick fermentation time (as little as five days) and offering a high alcohol brewing tolerance of up to 8% ABV, these are just some of the benefits of using this strain of yeast. Mauribrew Lager 497 yeast has very good natural setting properties and results in a green beer of good clarity and a compacted yeast deposit. Pale Ales and California Common are popular brewing styles for this yeast.

① Direct pitching:
Pitch the yeast directly into the fermentation vessel on the surface of the wort at or above the fermentation temperature. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available to avoid clumps. Ideally, the yeast will be added during the first part of the filling of the vessel; in which case hydration can be done at wort temperature higher than fermentation temperature, the fermenter being then filled with wort at lower temperature to bring the entire wort temperature at fermentation temperature.
② With prior rehydration:
Alternatively, sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight of sterile water or boiled and hopped wort at 25 to 29°C (77°F to 84°F). Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes, gently stir and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
