White Labs WLP029 German Ale/Kölsch
White Labs WLP029 German Ale/Kölsch
From a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, this yeast works great in Kölsch and Alt style beers. Good for light beers like blond and honey. Accentuates hop flavors, similar to WLP001. The slight sulfur produced during fermentation will disappear with age a
Notes
This is modeled after Canada's Granville Island Brewery's "Kitlano Maple Cream Ale". The Maple Syrup makes this silky ale too dark to be considered a "true" cream ale, but the end product should be phenomenal. If you are ever in B.C. (British Columbia. Sorry, no time-traveling) stop by the pub and order a taster round of whatever's on tap.
