WLP066 London Fog Ale Yeast

This strain, although English, is historically used for New England IPAs.

It produces a medium fruity ester profile similar to that of WLP008 East Coast Ale yeast.

It leaves a certain residual sweetness, which helps to enhance the flavors and texture of the grains, thus producing a velvety mouthfeel.

As the name "Fog" suggests, it leaves a lot of "Haze" in the beer, which helps to keep the hop aromatic molecules in suspension and thus enhance the taste.

Characteristics:

• Attenuation: 75% - 82%

• Alcohol Tolerance: High (8-12%)
• STA1: Negative
