Product details

This strain is for fermenting your “California Common” beer. Cablecar can produce clean pseudo lagers at ale temperatures but is also willing to work as a traditional lager strain down to the mid-50s.

NOTE: During summer months, we include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeast orders. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will stay frozen given transit times and particularly hot temperatures. For this reason, we recommend ordering dry yeast during summer months.

Great for my California Common

I made a small 1.5 Liter starter with this packet (just to be sure), since it was about 5 weeks old. Fermented at about 62 degrees F. for 3 weeks total before kegging (could have kegged at least a few days earlier even). The beer is really good, spot on with what I intended.

Cablecar Impresses

I pitched directly - no starter - into a 6.5 gallon batch of California Common with an OG of 1.056, and fermented at 54 degrees for 2 weeks. It was slow and steady. I upped the temp to 64 degrees for another week, and was within a point of the target FG. My initial taste test was positive - no terrible esters or off flavors. Other Imperial ale yeasts take right off within a day; this strain acts more like a lager when treated like a lager, so your patience will be rewarded.

Always Consistent

I’ve never had a bad brew with Imperial Yeast. Remarkably consistent.
