LalBrew® CBC-1 Cask and Bottle Conditioning Ale Dry Yeast (Danstar) is a yeast strain designed to ensure adequate carbonation in kegs, casks, or bottles.
A Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast culture specifically chosen for its refermentation quality and performance, this dried yeast is perfectly suited for priming and conditioning in casks, bottles, or kegs. Alcohol tolerance is high, at 12-14%ABV.
This yeast can also be used for primary fermentation or slow or sluggish fermentations. When used for priming, dextrose (corn sugar) works best – this yeast does not metabolize maltotriose, so wort is not an ideal priming agent.
The recommended inoculation rate is 2 grams per 5 gallons, or approximately 1/2 tsp.
