White Labs WLP001 California Ale
White Labs WLP001 California Ale
This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance and ability to be used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely versatile.
Notes
The dry-hopped Ahtanum is 'socked' and dropped into the plastic cubes. Then it steeps in the hot wort as it cools. (No-chill method) This worked beautifully last time I tried it. Wonderful hop aroma without the harshness I often get from 'real' dry-hopping.

Fermenting strongly

I used US-56 for this brew. Strange that this yeast is not in the list of yeasts. It is very attenuative and has fermented the wort down to 1.008 and still dropping slowly. Next time, I think I'll mash at a higher temp. Beer is tasting good, though. Really hoppy. A good'n.
