White Labs WLP070 Bourbon Yeast
White Labs WLP070 Bourbon Yeast
From a tradtional distillery in the heart of Bourbon country, this strain produces a carmel, malty character with balanced ester profile. Suitable for Bourbon or other American Whiskey with barley, rye, or corn as the base grain. Used in high-gravity beers.
Notes
Mash at 143 - 146°F for 60. Increase mash temperature to 159°F for 15 minutes and mash out with 172°F sparge water. Shoot for a thin mash of 4:1 liquor to grist ratio and pH of mash about 5.5. Use soft water if possible to minimize the alkalinity in most tap waters. Total boil time should be minimized to 60 minutes to prevent darking of wort. Start fermentation at 70°F and lower to 59°F in primary. Rack to secondary and continue at 59°F. Cold condition at 50°F for 3 weeks. Should filter beer and carbonate to approximately 2.0 volume %.
