  • Danstar CBC-1

    Danstar 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.

Notes

Had some luck with this brew... keep the fermentation temperature low and use a good quality liquid lager yeast if at all possible. Nice clean flavour if it's done right.
