This yeast is a little more attenuative than WLP002. Like most English strains, this yeast produces malty beers. Excellent for all English style ales including bitter, pale ale, porter, and brown ale.

Brew Day - Aug 3, 2002

AHA National Mead Day. After the events of the day, this brew has been renamed "Collinwood Torrential Braggot." This braggot was brewed at the Minnesota Brewers Campout - outdoors! After 30 minutes into the brew, it began raining and blowing so hard that I could not keep the stove lit. 3 hours later, the rain and wind let up enough to finish the boil. . It continued pouring and blowing all night long! The next morning, with tree limbs down all around us, I got around to racking and pitching the yeast. . Today I attached the blow-off tube because it had blown the cork and airlock off in the middle of the night!

Racked into secondary. VERY dark brown and malty, but honey is obvious too.
