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.

About 50-50 in how people like it. Its good with pizza and food. Its not an easy drinking beer that I can't drink more than a couple at a time.
