Lallemand CBC-1

LalBrew CBC-1 Cask & Bottle Conditioning Yeast

LalBrew CBC-1 has been specifically selected for cask and bottle conditioning applications due to its high resistance to alcohol and pressure. It has a neutral flavor profile and does not metabolize maltotriose, preserving the original character of the beer after refermentation. Also an ideal strain for primary fermentation of dry ciders, mead, and hard seltzer.

Flavor Profile

Neutral and clean — preserves the original character of the beer during bottle conditioning, and produces high attenuation with neutral flavor in cider, mead, and seltzer applications.
