CBC-1™has been specially selected for its 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 that will affect the original character of the beer.
The yeast will settle and form a tight mat at the end of the refermentation. CBC-1 can also be used for primary fermentation and is especially suitable for Champagne-like beers and fruit beers. CBC-1 will ferment and referment within a range of temperature of 15° to 25°C (59° to 77°F). This particular strain has also been extensively tested for high-gravity brewing to produce flavored-alcohol beverages.
This yeast is a "killer strain" and will not ferment maltotriose.
If you are adding this to the bottle or cask condition, please rehydrate the yeast in sterile water per the directions on the pack.
