White Labs PurePitch - WLP002 English Ale Yeast

White Labs PurePitch WLP002 English Ale Yeast: This is a classic ESB strain from one of Englands largest independent breweries. While it is traditionally used for English-style ales including milds, bitters, porters, and stouts, it is also ideal for American-style pale ales and IPAs. Residual sweetness accentuates malt character along with mild fruity esters, adding complexity to the flavor and aroma of finished beers. Slight diacetyl production is common. Due to this strains high flocculation, the beer will finish clear and the yeast can easily be harvested from the fermenter for future use. It is common for this yeast to look coagulated.

White Labs NEW PurePitch has improved shelf life through process improvements and laboratory analysis, White Labs monitor the glycogen content of the yeast cells to give them more energy when starting a fermentation.

Each PurePitch package pitches a consistent 7.5 million cells/mL.

PurePitch Next Generation features a breathable proprietary dual-layer film designed to allow for more effective off-gassing to reduce product inflation and deliver higher viability and shelf life for the yeast.
