Description

 

Available as Liquid or Dry Yeast!
 

White Labs wouldn’t be here without our first yeast strain produced in 1995, WLP001 California Ale Yeast®. This strain is a favorite in our collection and is used in some of the best beers around the world. 

This yeast strain is famous for its clean flavors and hardy fermentations and is known for its use in hoppy beers. It accentuates hop flavors and aromas and attenuates well, even for high gravity beers. A higher than average attenuation leads to drier beers as well as medium flocculation to leave a clean and crisp beer. WLP001 is also quick at reabsorbing diacetyl.

  • Best-selling yeast
  • Versatile and Robust - Great for higher gravity ales and beyond beer
  • Accentuates hop flavors and aromas in IPAs and hoppy styles
