White Labs WLP017 Whitbread Ale
White Labs WLP017 Whitbread Ale
Traditional mixed yeast culture. British style character, slightly fruity, with a hint of sulfur production. This yeast can be used for many different beer styles. The most traditional choices would be English style ales including milds, bitters, porters, and English style stouts. North American style ales will also benefit from fermentation with WLP017. The beer will clear easily.
Notes
Steep grains at 70C for 30min, sparge, and add DME and sugar, bring to boil. At boil, add kent goldings. Boil for 30mins, add 15g of saaz. Boil for 15 min, add 15g of saaz and sliced chillis in a stocking. Boil for another 15 min, then remove from heat, and add the last saaz. Leave to sit for 15mins, with lid on. Remove chillis, add another 4 fresh sliced chillis to fermenter, strain in wort, top up to 20L, cool to ~24C, pitch 1L yeast starter (I used a captured yeast from Coopers Sparkling ale), ferment for 7-10 days, keg or bottle. For extra kick when kegging, add 4 chillis into keg.
