White Labs Yeast
|
Each vial of
White Labs liquid yeast is designed to be pitchable directly in 5 gallons.
Each vial is equivalent in cell count to a pint starter or 30-60 billion cells.
Store the vial in refrigerator
until ready to use, do not freeze. Let the vial warm to room temperature 2
hours before using. Shake the vial well to re-suspend the yeast and open cap
carefully. Pour into wort at 70-75°F. The first sign of fermentation will
be co2 pressure in the airlock followed by foam developing on the top of wort.
Leave enough head space in the fermentor for the foam because some fermentations
will be very active. Fermentation is complete when the activity subsides and
the desired specific gravity is reached. It may take 14-30 days for complete
fermentation.

Ale Yeast
California Ale
(WLP001)
|
This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance and ability to be
used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely
versatile.
|
|
English Ale
(WLP002)
|
A classic ESB strains from one of England's largest independent breweries.
This yeast is best suited for English style ales including milds, bitters, porters,
and English style stouts. This yeast will leave a beer very clear, and will
leave some residual sweetness.
|
|
Irish Ale
(WLP004)
|
This is the yeast from one of the oldest stout producing breweries in
the world. It produces a slight hint of diacetyl, balanced by a light fruitiness
and slight dry crispness. Great for Irish ales, porters, browns,
reds and very interesting pale ale.
|
|
British Ale
(WLP005)
|
This yeast is a little more attenuative than WLP002. Like most
English strains, this yeast produces malty beers. Excellent for all English
style ales including bitter, pale ale, porter, and brown ale.
|
|
Dry English Ale
(WLP007)
|
Clean, highly flocculant and highly attenuative yeast. This yeast
is similar to WLP002 in flavor profile, but is 10% more attenuative. This
eliminates the residual sweetness, and makes the yeast well suited for high gravity
ales. It also reaches terminal gravity quickly.
|
|
German Alt/Kolsch
(WLP029)
|
From a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, this yeast works great in
Kolsch and Alt style beers. Good for light beers like blond and honey.
Accentuates hop flavors, similar to WLP001. The slight sulfur produced during
fermentation will disappear with age and leave a super clean, lager like ale.
|
|
Edinburgh Ale
(WLP028)
|
Scotland is famous for its malty, strong ales. This yeast can
reproduce complex, flavorful Scottish style ales. This yeast can be a everyday
strain, similar to WLP001. Hop character is not muted with this strain, as
it is with WLP002.
|
|
American Hefeweizen Ale
(WLP320)
|
This yeast is used to produce the Oregon style American Hefeweizen.
Unlike WLP300, this yeast produces a very slight amount of the banana and clove
notes. It produces some sulfur, but is otherwise a clean fermenting yeast, which
does not flocculate well, producing a cloudy beer.
|
|
German Hefeweizen Ale
(WLP300)
|
This famous German yeast is a strain used in the production of traditional
authentic wheat beers. It produces the banana and clove nose traditionally
associated with German wheat beers and leaves the desired cloudy look of traditional
German wheat beers. |
|
Lager Yeast
|
Pilsner Lager
(WLP800)
|
Classic pilsner strain from the premier pilsner producer in the Czech
Republic. Somewhat dry with a malty finish, this yeast is best suited
for European pilsner production.
|
|
San Francisco Lager
(WLP810)
|
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer.
A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65°F while retaining
lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50°F for production of marzens, pilsners and similar style lagers.
|
|
German Lager
(WLP830)
|
This yeast is one of the most widely used lager yeasts in the world.
Very malty and clean, great for all German lagers, pilsner, oktoberfest, and marzen.
|
|
Octoberfest/
Marzen
Lager
(WLP820)
|
This yeast produces a very malty, bock like style. It does not
finish as dry as WLP830. This yeast is much slower in the first generation
stage.
|
|
Mead Yeast
|
Sweet Mead
(WLP720)
|
A wine yeast strain with low attenuation,
leaving some residual sweetness. Slightly fruity and will tolerate alcohol concentrations
up to 15%. A good choice for sweet mead and cider, as well as white wines.
