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.
