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
A strong scotch ale based on a prior batch, but improved. * To obtain that necessary caramel flavor this batch will boil (simmer) from the 3.5 gallons for 3 hours. That's the best way I can think of.
