White Labs WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish Ale
White Labs WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish Ale
Scotland is famous for its malty, strong ales. This yeast can reproduce complex, flavorful Scottish style ales. This yeast can be an everyday strain, similar to WLP001. Hop character is not muted with this strain, as it is with WLP002.
Notes
Brewed 5/7/02 OG 1.038 FG 1.014 I milled the grains in the Cuisinart blender to almost dust. Color extraction was very high! Has a nice roasted character going in to the primary. I'm hoping for a good complex summer brew without heaviness, or hoppiness. UPDATE: After a month of bottle conditioning, this beer was everything I'd hoped for. This was easy to make and will be brewed again! Won second place at my local homebrew club in September.
