White Labs WLP051 California Ale V

From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001, and slightly more flocculant. Attenuation is lower, resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.
Notes
This was bottled on 3/25 and I stuck a 6 pack in the fridge yesterday opened the first one tonite and it is very drinkable almost dangerously so. The profile, however, is not what I was shooting for. The hop schedule sucked!! The beer starts and finishes nice and bitter, it sorta grabs the sides of your tongue and hangs on but thats about it. I changed the hop schedule to get some flavor and aroma. I am switching my bittering hop from Chinook to Warrior and adding Columbus instead of Cascade 45min into boil and adding some .5oz dry hop additions of Warrior, Columbus and Amarillo in secondary, I'm gonna say....3 to five days prior to bottling. Yes, I will be doing a secondary with this one next time.
