SafAle™ K-97 is a versatile German ale dry yeast well suited for gluten-free brewing. It delivers clean fermentation with subtle fruity and lightly spicy esters, allowing gluten-free malts to remain balanced and expressive. This strain performs especially well in kölsh-style ales, cream ales, and wheat-inspired gluten-free beers, providing a smooth mouthfeel and restrained ester profile. Ideal for brewers seeking clarity, drinkability, and traditional European character in gluten-free beer.
