WLP002-O Organic English Ale Yeast

WLP002-O Organic English Ale Yeast

This is a classic ESB strain from one of England's largest independent breweries. Although traditionally used for English-style ales, including milds, bitters, porters and stouts, it is also ideal for American-style pale ales and IPAs. Residual sweetness will accentuate the malt character along with mild fruity esters, adding complexity to the flavour and aroma of finished beers. Slight diacetyl production is common. Due to this strain's high flocculation ability, beers will finish clear and the yeast can be easily harvested from the fermenter for future use. It is common for this yeast to appear clumped.
