White Labs - WLP002 English Ale Yeast

WLP002 English Ale Yeast: A classic ESB strain from one of England`s largest independent breweries. This yeast is best suited for traditional English-style ales including milds, bitters, porters, and stouts. This yeast is also surprisingly ideal for American-style pale ales and IPAs. Leaving some residual sweetness, it accentuates malt character along with mild fruity esters. Thanks to the high flocculation, this yeast will leave your beer very clear.

Recommended For: Ales and Ciders

Attenuation: 63 - 70%

Flocculation: Very High

Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65 - 68F

Concerned about shipping? Don`t be! We ship all of our liquid yeast with ice packs.

Each vial or pouch of White Labs liquid yeast is designed to be used directly in 5 gallons of wort, hence the term `pitchable yeast.` Each vial is equivalent in cell count to a pint starter or 75-150 billion cells. One vial will usually start fermentation in a 5 gallon batch in 5-15 hours at 70F. If a faster start is desired or if initial gravity is over 1.070 we recommend a 1-2 pint starter be made or add a second vial or pouch of yeast.
