Description

WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale Liquid Yeast White Labs

From East Flanders, this yeast is versatile in that it can produce low to high gravity Belgian beers up to 12% ABV. A combination of fruitiness and phenolic characteristics dominate the flavor profile. Some sulfur is produced during fermentation, which will dissipate following the end of fermentation.

WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale Yeast does contain the STA1 gene (glucoamylase), a potential indicator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus. Brewers yeast are natural hybrids, which make it possible for certain strains to display elements of the STA1 gene. These strains have the ability to utilize some dextrins (unfermentable sugars), resulting in higher levels of attenuation than what is considered typical.

Recommended as an alternative to Wyeast 1388 Belgian Strong Ale Yeast.
