White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale
White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale
Saisons, Belgian Ales, Belgian Reds, Belgian Browns, and White beers are just a few of the classic Belgian beer styles that can be created with this yeast strain. Phenolic and spicy flavors dominate the profile, with less fruitiness then WLP500.
Notes
actually used whitelabs belgian blend, new yeast, not yet in this system. low mash efficiency due to boil over....lots of fermentable sugars lost. if you brew this batch and don't mess it up like i did, it will come out much stronger and darker

i had a boil over, and lost alot of mash effiency, but it still came out tasty, and with a good alcohol percentage..... that white labs belgian blend is an excellent yeast... the brew came out sweet with a very mild hop profile, a dark amber color, and an aroma similar to avery's "the reverend" will post one more review after it has had a week to carbonate
amazing

after allowing the batch to sit for enough time to allow full carbonation (via bottle conditioning), the fully carbonated finished product is absolutely excellent, i have given out numerous samples, and got back nothing but great reviews on the strength and flavor. very happy with the finished product
