The best of several yeast strains! White Labs brings you their American Ale Yeast Blend, a blend of yeasts that all belong to the family of yeasts described as clean and neutral. However, the three yeasts work together to create a flavor profile that is more complex than their 001 California Ale strain. This yeast has been described as lager-like due to it's cleanliness. It can accentuate hops, and as such is the perfect strain for IPAs and other hop-centric beers; however, hops are not accentuated to the same extent as they are with 001. Fermentation with this blend has been known to create some sulfur that dissipates and is absent in the final beer. This is a favorite strain of many brewers, home and pro alike!
Product Features
- A clean-fermenting blend of three American ale strains.
- Produces clean, lager-like beers and can help to accentuate hops.
- Used to ferment many types of American ales, such as pale ales, IPAs, ambers, browns, porters and stouts.
ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
