  • White Labs WLP510 Bastogne Belgian Ale Yeast

    White Labs WLP510 Bastogne Belgian Ale Yeast

    A high gravity, Trappist style ale yeast. Produces dry beer with slight acidic finish. More 'clean' fermentation character than WLP500 or WLP530. Not as spicy as WLP530 or WLP550. Excellent yeast for high gravity beers, Belgian ales, dubbels and trippels.

Notes

Recipe from Zymurgy Jul/Aug 2007: Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes or White Labs WLP510 Belgian Bastogne or culture up from bottle of LaChouffe Candi Sugar (10 min) Golden Raisins (10 min, pureed in 2 cups wort taken at 30 mins and steeped) Mash at 152F for 60 mins. Mash out at 158F for 10 mins. Ferment at 70-75F. O.G. 1.079 F.G. 1.019 IBUs: 60 Recipe called for 12 lbs base malt, I bumped up to 13.5 due to my efficiency to hit 1.079 Recipe called for Vanguard but we used. Only hit 1.064 OG? Charged the mash tun with hot water and strunk at 162F and settled right at 152F
