Lite Beer
American Pale Ale • Extract • 5 gal
Typically, most of my brews are amber or dark, so I called this one Lite to resemble the color.

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
I generally use a secondary fermentation process when I make this Ale. I also use 2 packets of dry yeast instead of liquid yeast. For bottling, use only Dry Malt Extract and just a small amount of corn sugar, (usually a 2:1 ratio). I also use pint mason jars for bottling this brew, adds a little mystery to what you and your friends are drinking. The term "Lite" refers to the color more than to what a typical lite beer is. Best of all, just enjoy it.
