WLP051 California V Ale Yeast - 70ml PurePitch Next Generation

WLP051 California V Ale Yeast - PurePitch Next Generation

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