White LabsWLP500Trappist Ale
White LabsWLP500Trappist Ale
From one of the six Trappist breweries remaining in the world, this yeast produces the distinctive fruitiness and plum characteristics. Excellent yeast for high gravity beers, Belgian ales, dubbels and trippels.
Notes
Steep crushed Aromatic and CaraFoam at 152°F for 30 minutes. I used a 800ml starter of yeast cultured from a bottle of Chimay Cinq Cents (White Label) instead of the WLP500.
