CBC-1

CBC-1 has been especially selected for it's refermentation properties and is recommended for Cask and Bottle Conditioning. CBC-1 referments beers up to 12-14% ABV due to its high resistance to alcohol and pressure; it does not produce flavors therefore conserving the original character of the beer. The yeast will settle and form a tight mat at the end of refermentation. If you are looking at a clean, reproducible, consistent and rapid conditioning process this is the yeast of choice! CBC-1 can also be used for primary fermentation and is especially suitable for Champagne-like beers and fruit beers.

Danstar

Diamond Lager

Diamond yeast has been produced using advanced techniques developed by Lallemand to maintain the highest standards in fermentation and flavor production. Every phase of production is controlled and tested to assure absolute consistency from batch to batch, giving you the best results possible every time. Diamond lager yeast is available in 500 gram vacuum-sealed packages. Bulk volumes are available for commercial use on request.

Danstar

Manchester

Produces very complex, woody and full-bodied ale. Sensory contribution in the tradition of English-style ale.

Danstar

Nottingham

The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!
