Description
LalBrew® CBC-1 has been specifically selected from the Lallemand Yeast Culture Collection for its refermentation properties and is recommended for Cask and Bottle Conditioning. LalBrew® CBC-1 referments beer efficiently due to its high resistance to alcohol and pressure. The flavor is neutral, therefore the original character of the beer is preserved. The yeast will settle and form a tight mat at the end of refermentation. LalBrew® CBC-1 can also be used for primary fermentation of dry ciders or mead. Maltotriose is not metabolized during primary fermentation of beer, so LalBrew® CBC-1 is well suited for sweeter fruit beers or fullbodied, malty ales.

Donn Olmsted –
I have used this product many times and it is outstanding. How did I use? Primarily with making lagers, where you have a long fermentation times, diacetyl rests, cold crashing, etc. What’s left in the way of yeast is poor for bottle conditioning. The manufacturers fly sheet has good info, but this is a straightforward product to use.
