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
Crush the rice and cook it slowly for 20 minutes and add to mash, however be careful as the rice will get thick while you are cooking it, so ensure that you keep it wet enough so that it does not dry out. I found 1 1/2 gallons of water to be a pretty good start. Mash the grain and rice together at 150-152F for 60-90 minutes, sparge with 165-170F water. Keep the lauter tun wet, as stuck sparge is easy to come by.

I brewed this beer about 6 weeks ago. It was great and I am planning on brewing it again.
