Pitched rehydrated Cali in a 1.060 Pale Ale at 63, fermentation was visible within 4 hours, dry hopped on day 3, fermentation was finished in 5 days at 1.008, I let the yeast cleanup fand drop and bottled at day 15. Worked very well for me.

I wasn't sure if this yeast was going to be good since it's a lot cheaper than the other companies, but wow, talk about a vigorous fermentation. I would say it's the best dry chico strain I've used, maybe just the best Chico strain in general.

I have used this yeast many times with great results.

We have used this the many times in our beers. it does the job and is consistent.

I would recommend using a blow-by or a 6-gallon carboy for fermenting. Yeast acts like a #4 yeast product. The " English version" acts like the standard #5 yeast. Great price @3.99.

It fermented my beer. People liked the beer. Ergo, it must be okay.

works awesome took right off.

I really like this yeast I highly recommend it

Clean and universal. Quickly became a favorite

Direct pitch this and get great results. No need to bother with a starter.

Worked very well . Especially being half the price compared to white labs liquid . I definitely will be using this brand from now on. Wish I used it sooner would have saved a ton of money.

Love it. Great beer.

I always used liquid yeast (namely Wyeast 1056) but have found that the CellarScience "Cali" tastes just as good and give as good performance with a lot less hassle.

Great product and fast shipping

I've brewed at least 3 batches with the cali dry yeast that was saved in the fridge as backup for liquid yeast. The last 2 batches were under 1.065 and the wort was oxygenated well and pitching temps were in range. Even with hydration, fermentation would not start after 2 days including some wort agitation and warmed up wort to 75 degrees. The last batch I pitched directly and oxygenated the wort even more and no bubbles after 2 days. Had to repitch both batches and am left a bit confused.

This yeast is amazing it was churning the very next day!!

Works like a charm. High attenuation, clean fermentation, decent flocculation makes it a predictable and reliable yeast for most ales.

Sprinkled on top of one batch , hydrated and added to another batch. Good fermentation in both batches, though a little more delay unhydrated.

Cellar Science GERMAN produced an excellent Munich Helles. It will be my go-to dry yeast for future brews.

I fermented a Cream Ale with Cali Ale yeast and it turned out perfect. Strong, healthy fermentation. Short lag phase compared to other dry yeasts I've tried. Did not rehydrate. I use yeast nutrient and oxygenate with O2 (even with dry yeast, although for only 15 seconds instead of 1 minute). The beer turned out great! Would absolutely recommend for any recipe where a neutral ale yeast is desired. Squeaky clean at 62F with a diacetyl rest at 70F for 48 hours.

Seems to be packaged good but I haven't used it yet.

I got my first package of Cellar Science Cali dry yeast from a friend who didn’t know to keep it refrigerated and it was stored at about 80 degrees for over six months. I used it in a batch of American Pale Ale. It had a longer lag time than usual. But fermented well with a 5.5 ABV. Final gravity 1.010. After 8 days. Since then I have had excellent results with this yeast. I will be using it in the future!

I've used this a couple of times and had no problems at all. I will be getting some more next order I make as it will works with most of the beer I brew. Bottom line is that is a solid performing yeast at a great price.

First time user of this yeast. Very good to excellent results.

Easy to activate and generated great flocculation.

Seems likely to be from Chico-strain...not much details on the web. Fermented fast attenuated pretty well (one batch out of 4 got stuck but I blame my process on that one). Can't beat the price.

I tried this yeast because MoreBeer was giving it away. I have been a Safale yeast user for the past year or so, and consider that to be a great yeast for a dry yeast. The Cali has been an incredible yeast. I brew a 5 gallon batch of a basic IPA almost a week ago, and the morning after I put the batch into the fermenter I already had fermentation. In the past five days I've gone from 1.060 to 1.005! To me this is incredible. I am going to use this same yeast in my next batch, and if I get the same results this will be my go to yeast for the foreseeable furture.

Only used this yeast one time for a nice west coast ipa recipe I have. It finished very nice and clean. Really appreciate the amount not of yeast for the price

I really like this yeast, and order more every time I shop. It's super easy to rehydrate, and it is reliable and well tolerant of the temp swings I make it live with in my cellar. Its a fast starter, and I often get floculation within 4 hours. In 2 days, this turns my fermenter into a fish pump, continuously producing off gas and munching away my sugars. Whats amazing is how clean it finishes. You have to be patient with it and wait the required 6 weeks. But it cleans up everything so nicely and you get fine beer. worthy of your glass.

I started with this yeast and it worked super well for me! I hydrated it 15 mins before and matched pitch temp. Great fermentation and clean taste. Will definitely be using this as my go-to. I also visited a local brewer and he said this is his go-to also.

I used @5 grams of CellarScience CALI Dry Yeast on a 1 gallon batch of pale ale made with Golden Promise and Maris Otter and hopped with Zappa and Amarillo. Within 6-8 hours things were churning away. I have it bottle conditioning now and look forward to tasting it.
