    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

Sparge slowly with water at 82-85°C (180-185°F) to obtain the required volume. Boil with hops for 1 ½ hours. Cool. Strain and rinse the hops.
