British Ale Yeast - WLP 005

While being quite similar to the WLP002 strain in general terms, WLP005 British Ale Yeast has a character of its own, which can be used in a variety of styles.

It is characterized by a higher attenuation and slightly drier finish, while still retaining the overall malt-forward character and high flocculation that results in a very clear beer and a compact yeast sediment.

WLP005 can certainly be used as a substitute for WLP002 as it will produce similar results in general, however its best application are slightly drier malt-forward beers with higher alcohol content, such as Robust Porter, Oatmeal Stout, Brown Ale, and English IPA among others.
