A New Approach to Alcohol-Free Brewing
The no- and low-alcoholic beer market continues to grow as consumer preferences shift toward alcohol-free options. Producing high-quality 0.0% beer has remained a challenge for many craft brewers. Traditional methods like dealcoholization can be costly and may affect flavor, while limited fermentation cannot always guarantee <0.5% ABV.
We are proud to partner with Vivelys to bring brewers an innovative new way to produce true alcohol-free beer (0.0% ABV). This complete solution pairs our latest yeast for NOLO beer, SafBrew™ LA-02, with oxygen supply system Visio® 0.0%.
Visio® 0.0% is an advanced oxygen dosing system. When used with SafBrew™ LA-02, a specialized non-Saccharomyces yeast strain, brewers can create alcohol-free beer in just 72 hours without dealcoholization. This approach helps to preserve beer flavor while making production simpler, more efficient, and sustainable.
How the Science Works
Visio® 0.0% is an oxygen dosing system that leverages aerobic fermentation. In the presence of oxygen, certain non-Saccharomyces yeasts metabolize sugars through aerobic respiration – a process where the yeast consumes oxygen to break down sugars into energy and carbon dioxide without producing alcohol.
SafBrew™ LA-02 is a maltose-negative Torulaspora delbrueckii yeast strain for no- and low-alcohol beer production. The Visio 0.0% system monitors and maintains the correct oxygen levels to restrict fermentation and ethanol production, allowing brewers to craft 0.0% ABV beer without the need to remove alcohol. The result is a naturally flavorful alcohol-free beer produced in less time than other methods.

Benefits for Brewers
Brewing non-alcoholic beer with SafBrew™ LA-02 and Visio® 0.0% offers several advantages.
Autonomy and simplicity
Visio® 0.0% allows breweries to produce alcohol-free beers without resorting to external service providers or complex, costly processes. Visio® 0.0% allows brewers to secure and control their production process independently.
Fast production
With Visio® 0.0%, brewers can produce alcohol-free beer faster than ever. The entire process can be completed in just 72 hours. Brewers can achieve their goal in fewer steps, increasing efficiency while maintaining optimal quality.
No Complicated Yeast Management
SafBrew™ LA-02 is an E2U™ certified active dry yeast. This means brewers can pitch directly into the wort – no complicated or costly yeast management is required.
Substantial savings
Brewers can reduce their malt requirements by up to 50%, resulting in energy savings and a smaller carbon footprint. Less malt also means less water consumption, contributing to more sustainable production.
Aromatic neutrality
Brewers can create their desired non-alcoholic beer style from a reliable, high-quality neutral beer base. SafBrew™ LA-02’s clean flavor profile lets brewers easily craft a range of styles while optimizing production costs.
Who Is This Solution For ?
The Visio 0.0% system works well for different types of breweries, from craft operations looking to expand their non-alcoholic product lines to larger mid-size facilities seeking more efficient production methods.
