  • 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.

Notes

It ran out of room, but i added another .75 of both the Cascade and Centenials for 1min of boil time. With all the whole hops it traps a lot of the wort so have extra water to balance it back out to 5 gallons

Strong IPA Worth the Wait

I let it sit in secondary for 6 weeks. Clean up was not fun with all the whole hops floating around. Also did not create 5 gallons since hops soaked up lots of water. Otherwise very good and would say you should try it.
