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.

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.
