Cellar Science – CALI American Ale Yeast X 12G

This strain enhances malt and hop characteristics across various beer styles, with high viability and sterol levels ensuring efficient fermentation.

The yeast offers an ideal fermentation temperature range of 18-24°C and alcohol tolerance up to 10% ABV.

Standard dosage for 19-23 liter batches is one 12g sachet, with larger volumes requiring 60-100 grams per hectoliter. The yeast can be directly pitched or rehydrated, offering flexibility in inoculation methods.

Overview

What sets CALI American Ale Yeast apart as a premier choice for brewers? This classic American ale strain offers a clean, neutral flavor profile that enhances malt and hop characteristics across various beer styles.

With its high viability and sterol levels, CALI yeast guarantees efficient fermentation and superior quality. The 12g sachet contains up to 9% more yeast than competitors, providing excellent value.

CALI yeast’s direct pitch capability, PCR testing for quality assurance, and pre-loaded essential nutrients further contribute to its appeal. Its versatility and performance make it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced brewers seeking reliable fermentation results.

Dosage

Precision in dosage plays an essential role in achieving ideal fermentation results with CALI American Ale Yeast. For standard 19-23 liter batches, one 12g sachet suffices, providing optimal yeast cell count for efficient fermentation.

For larger volumes, CellarScience recommends a dosage range of 60-100 grams per hectoliter, or 0.5-0.8 grams per liter, depending on specific wort conditions and desired fermentation characteristics. This dosage guarantees adequate yeast population for complete attenuation and flavor development.

The direct pitch method simplifies the process, allowing brewers to inoculate wort without prior oxygenation. However, some brewers opt for rehydration to enhance yeast viability.

Adherence to these dosage guidelines, coupled with proper fermentation temperature control (15-22°C), facilitates peak yeast performance, resulting in clean, well-attenuated beer with the desired flavor profile.

Direct Pitch or Rehydrate

Brewers using CALI American Ale Yeast have two primary options for inoculation: direct pitching or rehydration, each offering distinct advantages and considerations.

Direct pitching, the simpler method, involves sprinkling the dry yeast directly onto the wort, capitalizing on the yeast’s high viability and pre-loaded nutrients. This approach minimizes contamination risks and saves time.

Alternatively, rehydration involves carefully mixing the yeast with sterilized water at a specific temperature range (29-35°C) before pitching. This process can potentially increase yeast cell viability, leading to more efficient fermentation. However, it requires additional steps and precision to avoid temperature shock.

The choice between methods often depends on the brewer’s experience, batch size, and desired fermentation outcomes.

Regardless of the chosen method, maintaining proper sanitization and temperature control remains essential for ideal fermentation results.
