Angel De La Muerte IPA
Imperial IPA • All Grain • 5 gal
This is the first all grain beer that I have made. It is fermenting right now in primary, then it will go to secondary for a couple of weeks before bottles. And yes, I know that it says "Angel of the Death" but it just rolls off the tongue better that way!

A popular ale yeast from the Pacific Northwest. The yeast will clear from the beer well, and leave a malty profile. More fruity than WLP002, English Ale Yeast. Good yeast for English style ales including milds, bitters, IPA, porters, and English style stouts.
