White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale
White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale
Saisons, Belgian Ales, Belgian Reds, Belgian Browns, and White beers are just a few of the classic Belgian beer styles that can be created with this yeast strain. Phenolic and spicy flavors dominate the profile, with less fruitiness then WLP500.
Notes
I added .75oz of Lavender to the boil for 60 min and 3 cubes of Dorot frozen basil and .25 oz lavender for 15 min.
