White Labs WLP005 British Ale
White Labs WLP005 British Ale
This yeast is a little more attenuative than WLP002. Like most English strains, this yeast produces malty beers. Excellent for all English style ales including bitter, pale ale, porter, and brown ale.
Notes
Hopping was complex. Bitter with the Chinook for 90mins. Mix the rest of your hops, reserve ~1.5-2oz for dry hopping. Add the rest in handfulls occasionally for the last 30 minutes of the boil, with the last handful going in at flameout. Dryhop with the remaining hops for 2 weeks in secondary. This is a superb hoppy beer, and aged fairly well. I finished it off in about 6 months, and it was still quite tasty, although the profile was obviously changing as the hops aged. Turned more bitter, less hoppy, as time went by.
