LalBrew® CBC-1 Yeast | Cask and Bottle Conditioning 11g

Ideal Yeast for Secondary Fermentation

LalBrew® CBC-1 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain specifically selected for its refermentation properties, making it ideal for cask and bottle conditioning. It exhibits high resistance to alcohol and pressure, ensuring efficient refermentation without altering the original character of the beer. This yeast forms a tight sediment at the bottom of the bottle or cask, resulting in clear, well-conditioned beer. Additionally, LalBrew® CBC-1 is suitable for primary fermentation of dry ciders, meads, and hard seltzers, achieving high attenuation with a clean and neutral flavor profile.

This 11g sachet is designed to ferment up to 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, making it ideal for homebrewers.

Key Characteristics:

• Attenuation: High
• Flocculation: High
• Alcohol Tolerance: 12-14% ABV for refermentation; up to 18% ABV for primary fermentation
• Fermentation Temperature Range: 20°C – 30°C (68°F – 86°F)
• Aroma and Flavor Profile: Neutral

Perfect for:

• Cask Conditioning
• Bottle Conditioning
• Primary Fermentation of Dry Ciders
• Primary Fermentation of Meads
• Primary Fermentation of Hard Seltzers

Usage Instructions:

• Pitching Rate:
  • Refermentation: 10 g/hL
  • Cider and Mead: 50 – 100 g/hL
  • Hard Seltzer: 100 – 250 g/hL
• Rehydration: Rehydrate by sprinkling the yeast on the surface of 10 times its weight in clean, sterilized water at 30°C – 35°C (86°F – 95°F). Leave undisturbed for 15 minutes, then stir to suspend completely. Adjust the temperature to that of the beverage and inoculate without delay.

Storage:

• Store in a vacuum-sealed package in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F).
• Opened packs must be re-sealed, stored in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F), and used within 3 days.
• Do not use yeast after the expiry date printed on the pack.

Our Commitment to Yeast Health

At SoCal Brewing Supply, we take yeast storage and viability very seriously (Yes, even Dry yeasts). We ensure yeast is always stored under optimal conditions, with 24-hour monitoring of refrigerator temperatures to prevent spikes that could negatively impact yeast health.

For Dry yeast shipments, we offer ice packs and insulated envelopes as an optional add-on for customers looking for extra protection during hotter months. It’s normal for ice packs to melt during transit; their purpose is to protect the yeast from extreme temperatures caused by external weather conditions.
