WLP051-O Organic California V Ale Yeast - shell yeast

WLP051-O Organic California V Ale Yeast

This strain has more similarities to an English strain than WLP001 California Ale Yeast®. It is a great ester producer, exhibiting cherry and apple notes that compliment pale ales, blonde and brown ales. Typically leaves some residual, lager-like sulphur compounds in finished beer. Recent sequencing studies show that this strain belongs to Saccharomyces pastorianus species, the same hybrid species as most lager strains. However, this strain has been used to make ales for decades and was previously categorised as belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
