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
Ferment 5 days at 75 degrees. Rack directly to keg. Add 12 oz frozen Red Raspberries in hop bag and suspend. Add 1/2 cup corn sugar. Ferment 2 weeks room temperature. Release pressure daily for first 3 days. Cold condition 30 days to clarify beer. First glass will be heavy with fruit sediment, but clear of sediment thereafter---very lager-like character.

Great beer that matures well with age.

I think the key to this recipe is putting the frozen raspberries in a hop sock with sanitized marbles and adding it to the finished beer in the keg and alowing it to carbonate naturally. I found that this beer hits it's peak after 6 months and is still great after a year.
