Description
WLP500 Monastery Ale Yeast – PurePitch Next Generation 70 ml
WLP500 comes from a Belgian monastery and suits Belgian quadrupels, tripels and dubbels thanks to its high alcohol tolerance. The yeast produces characteristic notes of plum and cherry with a hint of bubblegum. Lower fermentation temperatures (18–19 °C) give a less fruity, more earthy beer.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.

Frequently asked questions about WLP500 Monastery Ale Yeast
What temperature should WLP500 ferment at?
The ideal fermentation temperature is 18–22 °C. At the lower end, around 18–19 °C, the beer becomes less fruity and more earthy.
Do I need a yeast starter for a quadrupel or tripel?
One pack is intended for 20 litres of standard ale with OG below 1.074. Strong Belgian beers are often above that, and then you need more yeast, for example two packs or a starter.
Which beer styles does WLP500 suit?
Belgian abbey beers such as dubbel, tripel and quadrupel, and other strong beers where you want fruity notes of plum and cherry.
Why is the beer slow to clear?
Flocculation is low to medium, so the yeast stays in suspension longer. Give the beer plenty of time, or chill it before packaging.
