White Labs WLP051 California Ale V

From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001, and slightly more flocculant. Attenuation is lower, resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.
Notes
Preset mash water to 6.2 pH to target mash pH at 5.4 - 5.2. Mash for 75 minutes at 153°F (or conversion is complete by iodine test). Rapid chill at end of boil to below 75°F and pitch yeast (starter would be best). Ferment for 5 days at 68°F (check gravity to add time), move to secondary and ferment for 7 days at 65°F until gravity ends at 1.014. Transfer to bright keg and dry hop with 1 Oz Centennial and 1 Oz Cascade for two weeks at 55°F. Move to serving keg and cold condition for 1 week at 34°F and carbonate at 2.5 volume %. Ready to serve in less than 1 week. Cheers!
