  • 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

Mash grains (Crystal, barley, & rice) for 30 minutes @ 155F then 175F for 10, this keeps the grains from setting. Turn off heat and drain @ 5 min/gallon. Slowly add 3 quarts of boiling water during drain. This will maximize the sugars from the grains. Slow boil wort for 1.5 hours. Add the amber, wheat extracts and honey when wort begins to boil. Add hops after 30 minutes. Add boiled/cooled water to wort, making a 5 gallon batch. Cool and pour into carbouy when cooled to 100F. Add yeast when cooled to 80F. Lock and ferment at 60-68F.
