Angel Yeast BF16 is a clean, high-attenuating Swiss-style lager strain that produces bright, crisp beers with refined malt character and minimal esters. With strong fermentation performance and high flocculation, BF16 is ideal for a wide range of traditional and modern lagers. It is POF-negative, non-diastatic, and delivers excellent clarity with no filtration required.

BF16 performs best at classic lager temperatures but is versatile enough to ferment warmer when needed, making it suitable for brewers of all scales seeking reliable lager performance.

• Clean lager profile with low ester production

• High flocculation for clear, brilliant beer

• Strong attenuation (80–91%) for a dry, crisp finish

• Ferments well at traditional and elevated lager temps

• POF-negative and non-diastatic

• Alcohol tolerance up to 10% ABV

Fermentation Range:
50–68°F (10–20°C)
Recommended range for cleanest profile: 50–59°F (10–15°C)

Usage Rate:
0.5–1.5 g/L depending on wort gravity and fermentation temperature
Typical pitch rate: 50–150 g/hL; increase up to 300 g/hL for high-gravity or stressed fermentations

Rehydration Instructions:
For best results, rehydrate yeast in clean water at 72–86°F (22–30°C) for 10–20 minutes before pitching. Gradually adjust to wort temperature and pitch within 30 minutes to maintain yeast viability.

Applications:
Pilsner • Helles • Vienna Lager • Märzen • Festbier • American Lager • International Pale Lager
