White Labs WLP023 Burton Ale
White Labs WLP023 Burton Ale
From the famous brewing town of Burton upon Trent, England, this yeast is packed with character. It provides delicious subtle fruity flavors like apple, clover honey and pear. Great for all English styles, IPA's, bitters, and pales. Excellent in porters a
Notes
Boiled only sparged grain wort plus about a pound of the DME, resulting in a higher effective IBU (around 42). Strained hot wort over balance of DME to dissolve. Used a combo of WLP023 and Wyeast Scottish Ale #1728. Measures O.G. was 1.062, F.G. 1.014. Added half the cold-dripped, very strong coffee to one 5-gal secondary, and chocolate, heated to near boil in balance of coffee, to second. Both went fast at Xmas time! Coffee flavor noteable and intriguing in French Roast batch; chocolate/mocha a whispered promise in the second batch, which was slightly sweeter too. Both were well-received by local home brewers.

...and I've been home-brewing since before it was legal. Her commercial favorite is Deschute's Black Butte Porter, incidentally. Personally, I prefer the French-roast variant here, but both are pretty damn good. FB

scaled it for 5 gals, but curiously OG came in at 1.080. the only change i made was to add a little cinnamon and nutmeg. the sample tasted great. we'll see how it finishes thanks for the great recipe
O.G. variation is puzzling...

Did you use BeerTools to scale the recipe or do it by the seat of your pants? My results pretty much matched BeerTools estimates of both OG and FG. Anyway, a stronger version of the recipe (yours could be an imperial mocha porter, ABV 9.2% if it finishes at 1.014)) should be as good, maybe better! Let me know how it turns out. Fred
turned out great

i used beertools to scale it. fairly kickin' in the alcohol content. pretty warm going down. can only pick out the cinnamon and nutmeg if you know its in there. just a very slight background flavor. think more coffee next time i brew it though (im a java fiend) thanks again for the great recipe.
