In Focus: 10th Anniversary Blend
WLP010 10 Year Anniversary Ale
Yeast Blend\
White Labs started in 1995 with 5 strains available for
homebrewers-WLP001, WLP002, WLP004, WLP300, and WLP810. We wanted a blend with all of these strains, but Hefeweizen
just doesn't fit. So we
have crafted a blend using unique proportions of WLP001 California
Ale Yeast, WLP002 English Ale Yeast, WLP004 Irish Ale Yeast, and
WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast. A truly unique blend that will test a brewers imagination! For a limited time only.
Attenuation: 75-80%
Flocculation: Medium
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65-70°F
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

"Bravo!"

Beers brewed: Red Nose Pale Ale
Comments: "This yeast was very active worked very
quickly and produced an excellent variation of my breweries main
beer. The beer went too fast! I would hope this strain will be
available for years to come as it is so versatile, being able to
lager an ale adds complexity to the brew as it ferments into the
colder temps. Bravo!"
Editor's note: This strain is not part of the regular homebrew
lineup for 2007.
FAQ for this yeast

I made two starters, 1 pint with around 50 gram
of spray malt each. They are 42 hours old. 010 seems to be active,
is cloudy and is white on top of the wort. 060 seems to be finished
or has not been active. 060 was not very active on the top after 10
hours but it was cloudy and now it is clear. Could it be that 060 is
finished since there are yeast in the bottom and 010 started slowly?
010 is a top cropper, it forms a nice head on the top of the
fermentation, very traditional ale yeast trait. 060 has some lager
yeast, which ferments from the bottom, and will pull down the ale
yeast with it. So both are fermenting active and normal, just a good
example of yeast differences.
