White Labs WLP002 English Ale

SKU: YP002

Rating

3 Review(s)

A classic ESB strain from one of England's largest 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. NOTE: Due to the high degree of flocculation, this yeast has a very clumpy appearance in the package. Apparent attenuation: 63-70%. Flocculation: very high. Optimum temp: 65°-68° F

Good English style yeast Review by Legin

Rating

Excellent yeast. English character can be tart, almost apple-like. Decent flocculation over time. Beers best drunk sooner than later, as it seems to lose freshness faster than 001.

Cables- Just to be sure, White Labs is not your issue. I've been using them for 6 years now without any problem. I've only had problems with the mishandling of yeast upon it's arrival too me, which is not their fault. (Posted on 1/5/12)

I have used White Labs yeast twice now. Each time I have used them, I had no fermentation activity and needed to repitch with my dry yeast emergency packet. I will not be using yeast from this company again. (Posted on 1/4/12)

Awesome yeast, likes a D-rest. Review by PoB

Rating

Awesome, vigorous yeast. Nice versatile English character. This yeast sediments out quickly and completely for a super clear beer (if good practice is followed, and if the grain bill doesn't have hazy ingredients).

Be sure to do a diacetyl rest if you're fermenting on the low end - you'll be hard pressed to keep this yeast roused into the beer if you need to clean up butter. (Posted on 1/27/11)
