I do, depending on the beer. Something that sits in a fermenter for several months and is going to be bottle conditioned, I add some Danstar CBC-1 into the bottling bucket. Gives very good carbonation, no detectable flavors, and the sediment is fairly minimal.

Mothers of Fermention. It's a name that doesn't limit us to just beers, but anything that undergoes a fermentation. Mothers (even though we are 2 men) because mothers are caring and nurturing, much like how we have to grow and care for our yeast, and the finished product is like a child of our...

Just another update. I had reyeasted this with Danstar CBC-1 cask and bottle conditioning yeast about 19 days ago now. Since it was only a 1 gallon batch, I rehydrated about 1/4 packet, added priming sugar, and filled, corked, and caged 4 750ml bottles. I had one at the 2 week mark. It was a...

Thank you all for the kind words! We are very big on experimentation. We do not try to make any replica beers, everything is our own recipes and so far they have been great. The smash beers should give us more insight into hops and malt but so far we have a pretty good understanding of what we...
