White Labs WLP051 California Ale V
White Labs WLP051 California Ale V
From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001, and slightly more flocculant. Attenuation is lower, resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.
Notes
Actually used Canadian honey wheat malt, not honey malt. Seemed to make sense. I would use more next time. The wheat taste varies from bottle to bottle, but some are almost not wheaty at all. The cloudiness is also not quite right. Primed with corn sugar

Discussion
very well received

This beer is not as bitter as the calculator says it is. I used some older hops that had been lying around in the refrigerator; that's probably why. Everyone really likes this beer and I'm very pleased with the way it came out. The honey flavor is not very apparent, but it's there. The taste is overall very light and I got great comments at my last bbq since it was easy to drink and not heavy. Bottle to bottle the variation is the highest I've ever had; I would use a secondary next time to try to even out the flavor and color.
swirl the yeast

After being in the frige for a month, this beer is crystal clear. Quite pretty, actually, but not very wheat-like. Swirling the yeast from the bottom of the bottle adds a little color and a lot of honey and wheaty flavors. Yum.
keeps getting better

Been almost 6 months from brewing now. The taste just keeps getting better. The citrusy notes (presumably from the cascade plus the yeast) are more evident now and blend really well with the other flavors. I think I would add some more cascade hops at 10-15 minutes and/or as a dry hop. Maybe even some lemon zest?
