CALI Dry Beer Yeast

CALI Dry Beer Yeast

The classic American ale strain. Famous for its clean, neutral flavor and ability to be used in any style. Emphasizes malt and hops. Attenuates well. CALI is eligible for direct pitch straight into your wort. 

Every batch is PCR tested to ensure quality. 

Dosage:
One 12g sachet is enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. Or 60-100 grams per barrel, depending on wort temperature and gravity.

Direct Pitch OR Rehydrate:
CALI yeast is designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no oxygenation required in the initial fermentation. Our aerobic growth process makes this possible by creating dry yeast with high viability and high sterol levels. CALI yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients to ensure a successful, complete fermentation. While not required, some brewers prefer to rehydrate yeast. To hydrate yeast, first, sanitize the yeast brick and scissors. Use 10 grams of sterilized tap water between 85-95°F (29-35°C) mixed with 0.25 grams of FermStart per gram of yeast. Sprinkle yeast on the water. Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 10°F (6°C) of wort temperature before pitching. Ferment between 59–72°F (15-22°C).
