A super clean, super-fast fermenting strain. A low ester-producing strain that results in a balanced, neutral flavor and aroma profile. Alcohol-tolerant and very versatile for a wide variety of styles. Similar to California Ale Yeast WLP001 but it generally ferments faster.
*NOTE:*During summer months, we include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeast orders. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will stay frozen given transit times and particularly hot temperatures. For this reason, we recommend ordering dry yeast during summer months.

We strongly recommend ordering dry yeast in the summer months. We do include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeasts. It is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will survive the trip given transit times and particularly hot temperatures.
Just kegged a 10.5% ABV IMPERIAL STOUT 2 weeks ago and it tastes great already, but I’m gonna let it age for a while. And I have a 11.5% ABV DOUBLE IPA fermenting now. I used WLP090 for both with a yeast starter and each fermentation took off like a madman within 12 hours or so. Don’t know about the DIPA yet since it’s still going, but I got over 80% attenuation for the STOUT and it’s very clean. I recommend starting at 65*F until it slows down, then ramp it up 1* every day till 70*F, then test it every few days till it’s done. Bottom line is you can’t go wrong with WLP090 for pretty much any brew, but it excels for brews over 10% ABV in my opinion.
