Description
The reason this is the most popular strain in homebrewing and craft brewing is that it allows malt and hops to shine. You can never go wrong with CALI. Like all CellarScience yeast, CALI is eligible for direct pitch straight into your wort. CellarScience provides 12g of yeast per sachet, which is up to 9% more than any other brand of dry yeast. Every batch of yeast is PCR tested to ensure quality. CALI has been selling to pro breweries for awhile but was just recently packaged down to sachets for homebrewers.
Dosage:
Use at a rate of 12 grams per 5-6 gallons.
Use:
CALI yeast can be sprinkled directly onto the surface of the wort with good results. However; proper hydration helps ensure a healthy fermentation and is strongly recommended for beers with a starting gravity above 1.060. To hydrate yeast, first sanitize yeast pack and scissors. Use 1/2 cup (120 ml) of sterilized tap water between 85-95°F / 29-35°C. Sprinkle yeast onto water. Allow slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes and then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 10°F / 5.5°C of wort temp before pitching. Ferment between 59-72°F / 15-22°C.
