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.
Notes
I start with a 3 step infusion with a 145F for 30m, 155F for 60m, and mash out at 170F for 10m. After sparging for 30-40 minutes, boil for 60 while adding Northern for the boil, and Cascade when you turn off the heat. Fermernt as normal in primary. When you move to secondary add chocolate and 3o raspberry (do not use fresh raspberry as the seeds contain tannins and bacteria that is almost impossible to get rid of), to the fermemntor, then transfer the wort in. After fermentation has taken off in the carboy, give it a good jiggle (I know. A very technical term!), everyday to kind of shake up the chocolate, until a day before you are go to tranfer to bottles/keg. In bottling bucket, or keg, add last two ounces of raspberry. Add more (or less) to taste at this point. The extract flavor does disipate over time (time being two to four monthes if your beer last that long), so flavor accordingly. I'm lucky if there is still some after a couple of weeks, but I have noticed this with some of the other beers I have used extract with. Enjoy
