WLP002 English Ale Yeast

This product has been superseded and can now be purchased in the larger pack size at 2X the pitching rate, WLP002 English Ale Yeast - PurePitch Next Generation (KL33879).

This is a classic ESB strain from one of England’s 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.

We highly recommend a Dry Ice Pack or two for your yeasts voyage OR for a short stay in our pick up lockers in the warmer months of the year.
Please choose Australia Post Express  if you want to reduce the risk of transit time delay and its affect on your yeast.

Residual sweetness accentuates malt character along with mild fruity esters, adding complexity to the flavour and aroma of finished beers. Slight diacetyl production is common. Due to this strain’s 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

To ensure a healthy fermentation it is a good idea to incorporate some yeast nutrient in your brewing. You can purchase some here.

The benefits of using yeast nutrient are described in the pdf and video below:
