The CBC-1 Strain has been especially selected for it's refermentation properties and is recommended for Cask and Bottle Conditioning. CBC-1 can referment beers up to 11-14% ABV due to its high resistance to alcohol and pressure; it does not produce flavors therefore conserving the original character of the beer. This yeast will settle out to form a tight mat at the end of refermentation. It 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 25C (59 to 77F) ideally. CBC-1 is best used suited for refermentation purposes conducted preferably with priming sugars such as dextrose. CBC-1 is typically a fast starter and robust strain which can be used to ferment/referment beers up to 12% ABV. Fermentation can be completed in 3 days at 68F with an inoculation rate of 50-100g per bbl of beer (5-10 million cells per ml). Leaves some residual sweetness in the beer since it does not use maltotriose. Refermentation can be completed within 14 days at 15-25C with an inoculation rate of 10g of yeast per hl of beer (1-2 million cells per ml). Temperature and inoculation rate may be changed in order to achieve desired results. If the beer is already partly carbonated the pitching rate can be reduced. Shows flocculation and sedimentation at the end of the refermentation period. CBC-1 will not impart on the flavor of the original beer to be refermented.
