    Dextrine Malt

    In light-colored beers to give additional body. Adds richness without color.

  • 1 lb Jalapeno Peppers - (omitted from calculations)

  • White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend

    White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend

    Our most popular yeast strain is WLP001, California Ale Yeast. This blend celebrates the strengths of California- clean, neutral fermentation, versatile usage, and adds two other strains that belong to the same 'clean/neutral' flavor category. The additional strains create complexity to the finished beer. This blend tastes more lager like than WLP001. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated, but not to the extreme of California. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation.

Notes

1/2 lb of peppers minced and put in boil for last 15 minutes and 1/2 pouind minced and put in secondary after boiling in 2 cups of water.
