  • White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend

    White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend

    Our most popular yeast strain is WLP001, California Ale Yeast. This blend celebrates the strengths of California- clean, neutral fermentation, versatile usage, and adds two other strains that belong to the same 'clean/neutral' flavor category. The additional strains create complexity to the finished beer. This blend tastes more lager like than WLP001. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated, but not to the extreme of California. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation.

Still in secondary

So far I can recognize two errors in brewing this. 1. I weighed the hops wet and not when dry. Didn't come out as bitter or aromatic as I wanted it to. Name should be "Not an IPA". 2. I mashed a bit high for this style and it has a bit more body than desired. 158 was my mash temp. Gonna bottle this weekend and maybe mix it with another red that turned out pretty bitter but was also mashed a bit high.
