White Labs WLP075 Hansen Ale Yeast Blend
White Labs WLP075 Hansen Ale Yeast Blend
This is a blend of many IPA strain favorites. It has the attenuation of WLP090 San Diego Super Ale Yeast and the character of WLP007 Dry English Ale Yeast. This strain produces dry, hop-forward beers with minor ester production and is blend is a great flocculator.
Notes
This is my first time brewing. Perhaps I should have used a liquid scotch ale yeast instead of dry stuff. It took a couple of days but it is fermenting well and it smells great. It seems to fall somewhere between a scottish heavy and a strong scotch ale in style.
