White Labs WLP013 London Ale
White Labs WLP013 London Ale
Dry, malty ale yeast. Provides a complex, oakey ester character to your beer. Hop bitterness comes through well. This yeast is well suited for classic British pale ales, bitters, and stouts. Does not flocculate as much as WLP002 and WLP005.
Notes
Brewed on 11/28/2003 with the old man. OG = 1.065, slightly higher than prediction, but I forgot and measured after yeast pitch. Dad says "that's OK". Kegged on 12/16/2003, with a FG=1.027, for a %ABV of 5.00. Tastes really niced after the secondary, smooth and mild to medium for a bitter. Should be very drinkable, looking forward to aging it for a 2-3 weeks. Will be a great New Years brew.
