It produces very low levels of esters and phenols, which is exactly what you want when you’re adding it at bottling time. It just gets the job of refermentation done cleanly and drops out fast and hard, leaving the beer bright with minimal sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Practice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis is the yeast most people reach for when they want to naturally carbonate big, strong beers without risking off-flavors from the conditioning yeast itself. Many brewers use it specifically for bottle conditioning barleywines, imperial stouts, and other high-alcohol beers where a clean refermentation is critical. It can also serve as a primary fermenter if you want something very clean and highly flocculent for big or fruit beers, though that’s a secondary use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePitching \u0026amp; Rehydration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eFor bottle conditioning: Use approximately 2 grams per 5 gallons (roughly ½ teaspoon). Rehydrate in 86–95°F water for 15–30 minutes before adding to the beer at bottling time. For primary fermentation, treat it like a normal dry yeast pitch (one 11g sachet per 5 gallons).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lallemand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42635698470997,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/Lallemand-lalbrew-cbc-1.jpg?v=1784407506","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/lallemand-lalbrew-cbc-1","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
