At Fermentis, we wanted to offer a strain dedicated to this purpose. SafLager\u2122 SH-45 immediately stood out for its impressive capacity to release hop precursors, more specifically its ability to release free thiols from glutathionylate (G-) precursors found in raw materials such as hops.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How was this product developed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While exploring thiol expression in ale strains, we found some promising profiles for hop precursors. This research was then applied to three lager strains, and we noticed that one in particular displayed a remarkable capacity to release hop precursors and express free thiols more intensely.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is this product for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>SafLager\u2122 SH-45 helps brewers boost hop expression in lager beer. By pairing this yeast strain with appropriate raw ingredients containing thiol precursors (aromatic hops in particular), brewers can achieve results with more pronounced tropical fruit flavors, such as passionfruit and grapefruit.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are the key advantages of this product for brewers?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>SafLager\u2122 SH-45 promotes desirable tropical fruit and citrus notes. For brewers producing hoppy lagers, this yeast strain\u2019s impressive capability to enhance these characteristics means brewers require less hops and primary materials for the same effect or more.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What sets SafLager\u2122 SH-45 apart from the other products in our SafLager\u2122 range? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is quite a unique strain. It\u2019s something new that is not really comparable to the other products in our SafLager\u2122 range. Compared to our other lager yeasts, SafLager\u2122 SH-45 stands out for its ability to free aromatic precursors and release fruit notes with higher yield.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" ><h3 class=\"section-title section-title-center\"><b aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >More information<\/span><b aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/b><\/h3><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-56470308\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-35614505\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"woocommerce columns-1 \"><div class=\"products row row-small has-box-vertical large-columns-1 medium-columns-2 small-columns-2 has-shadow row-box-shadow-1-hover\">\n<div class=\"product-small col has-hover product type-product post-156928 status-publish first instock product_cat-active-dry-yeast product_cat-beer-brewing-solutions product_cat-saflager has-post-thumbnail shipping-taxable product-type-simple\">\n\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\n<div class=\"badge-container absolute left top z-1\">\n\n<div class=\"badge callout badge-circle\"><div class=\"badge-inner callout-new-bg is-small new-bubble\">NEW<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"product-small box box-vertical\">\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-none\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fermentis.com\/en\/product\/saflager-sh-45\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bfldr.com\/G7S7MSWL\/at\/kb95sbtggnssvc5rjcvvrmn\/SH-45.jpg?auto=webp&amp;format=png\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"SafLager\u2122 SH-45\" title=\"SafLager\u2122 SH-45\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools is-small top right show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools is-small hide-for-small bottom left show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools grid-tools text-center hide-for-small bottom hover-slide-in show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text box-text-products\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"title-wrapper\"><p class=\"name product-title woocommerce-loop-product__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fermentis.com\/en\/product\/saflager-sh-45\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\">SafLager\u2122 SH\u201145<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"price-wrapper\">\n<\/div>\t\t<p class=\"box-excerpt is-small\">\n\t\t\tThe ideal Lager yeast to enhance hop thiol release\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><!-- row -->\n<\/div>\n\t  <style>\n    #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1{height: 600px}\n    #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-2{height: 300px}\n    #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-3{height:200px}\n    #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-2-3{height: 400px}\n    #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-4{height: 150px}\n    #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-3-4{height: 450px}\n\n\n        \/* Tablet *\/\n    @media (max-width: 850px){\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1{height: 400px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-2{height: 200px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-3{height:133.33333333333px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-2-3{height: 266.66666666667px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-4{height: 100px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-3-4{height: 300px}\n    }\n    \n        \/* Mobile *\/\n    @media (max-width: 550px){\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1{height: 400px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-2{height: 200px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-3{height:133.33333333333px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-2-3{height: 266.66666666667px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-1-4{height: 100px}\n      #product-grid-1896037613 .grid-col-3-4{height: 300px}\n    }\n    \n\n  <\/style>\n  \n  \n    <div id=\"product-grid-1896037613\" class=\"row row-small has-shadow row-box-shadow-4-hover row-grid\" data-packery-options='{\"itemSelector\": \".col\", \"gutter\": 0, \"presentageWidth\" : true}'>\n\n  <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-35614505 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 50px 0px 50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-384596017\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-734099329\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-734099329 {\n  padding-top: 50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>Curious to learn more about lager beers and our SafLager\u2122 range?
