ALE YEAST
WLP001 California Ale Yeast
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. Attenuation: 73-80% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-73°F Alcohol Tolerance: High
WLP002 English Ale Yeast
A classic ESB strain 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. Attenuation: 63-70% Flocculation: Very High Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65-68°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
WLP004 Irish Ale Yeast
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, stouts, porters, browns, reds and a very interesting pale ale. Attenuation: 69-74% Flocculation: Medium to High Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65-68°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium-High
WLP005 British Ale Yeast
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. Attenuation: 67-74% Flocculation: High Optimum fermentation temperature: 65-70°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
WLP007 Dry English Ale Yeast
Clean, highly flocculent, 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 is also reaches terminal gravity quickly. 80% attenuation will be reached even with 10% ABV beers. Attenuation: 70-80% Flocculation: Medium to High Optimum fermentation temperature: 65-70°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium-High
WLP008 East Coast Ale Yeast
Our "Brewer Patriot" strain can be used to reproduce many of the American versions of classic beer styles. Similar neutral character of WLP001, but less attenuation, less accentuation of hop bitterness, increased flocculation, and a little tartness. Very clean and low esters. Great yeast for golden, blonde, honey, pales and German alt style ales. Attenuation: 70-75% Flocculation: Medium to Low Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-73°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
WLP009 Australian Ale Yeast

This yeast combines good flocculation with good attenuation. Attenuation: 70-75% Flocculation: High Ideal Fermentation Temperature Range: 65-70°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
WLP011 European Ale Yeast
Malty, Northern European-origin ale yeast. Low ester production, giving a clean profile. Little to no sulfur production. Low attenuation helps to contribute to the malty character. Good for Alt, Kolsch, malty English ales, and fruit beers. Attenuation: 65-70% Flocculation: Medium Ideal Fermentation Temperature Range: 65-70°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend
Our most popular yeast strain is WLP001, California Ale Yeast. This blend celebrates the strengths of California- clean, neutral fermentation, versatile usage, and adds two other strains that belong to the same 'clean/neutral' flavor category. The additional strains create complexity to the finished beer. This blend tastes more lager like than WLP001. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated, but not to the extreme of California. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation. Attenuation: 72-80% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-72°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium High
WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast
