White Labs WLP023 Burton Ale
White Labs WLP023 Burton Ale
From the famous brewing town of Burton upon Trent, England, this yeast is packed with character. It provides delicious subtle fruity flavors like apple, clover honey and pear. Great for all English styles, IPA's, bitters, and pales. Excellent in porters a
Notes
A simple little extract English Old Ale recipe. Were I to do it again, I would substitute Target for the Styrian and Fuggle as far as bittering, just to get the IBUs up a bit higher. I might also add molasses or treacle instead of a pound or so of the light extract. As it was, I bottled using dark brown sugar instead of corn sugar. It's still aging so I haven't had a chance to taste it yet, but I'm looking forward to it!
