White Labs WLP510 Bastogne Belgian Ale Yeast
White Labs WLP510 Bastogne Belgian Ale Yeast
A high gravity, Trappist style ale yeast. Produces dry beer with slight acidic finish. More 'clean' fermentation character than WLP500 or WLP530. Not as spicy as WLP530 or WLP550. Excellent yeast for high gravity beers, Belgian ales, dubbels and trippels.
Notes
Mash at 152F. Ferment at 66F and raise to 72F at the end. **The yeast used was actually WLP515 Antwerp Ale.
