White Labs - WLP051 California V Ale Yeast

WLP051 California V Ale Yeast: From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001 and slightly more flocculant. Attenuation is lower resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.

Attenuation: 70-75%

Flocculation: Medium to High

Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 66-70F

Alcohol Tolerance: Medium-High

Each vial of White Labs liquid yeast is designed to be used directly in 5 gallons 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 5 gallons in 5-15 hours at 70¡F. If a faster start is desired or if initial gravity is over 1.070 we recommend a 1-2 pint starter be made.
