White Labs I WLP001 I California Ale Yeast

In 1995, White Labs produced its 1st yeast strain, WLP001 California Ale Yeast® . Today, WLP001 is still a favorite & it is used in some of the best beers around the world.

WLP001 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. With a healthy pitch and yeast, WLP001 is also quick at reabsorbing diacetyl.
