White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend
White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend
Our most popular yeast strain is WLP001, California Ale Yeast. This blend celebrates the strengths of California- clean, neutral fermentation, versatile usage, and adds two other strains that belong to the same 'clean/neutral' flavor category. The additional strains create complexity to the finished beer. This blend tastes more lager like than WLP001. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated, but not to the extreme of California. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation.

Well, I'll be finding out if this recipe is any good the 14th. I'll be brewing 10 gallons of it so hopefully I like it :) I'll update my results.
Punch out bitter

very well balance bitter but bitter, IPA lovers will love it. People who don't like IPA will hate it. 3 out of 4 stars as I can only take a few glasses.
