Clean, highly flocculent, and highly attenuative yeast. This yeast is similar
to WLP002 in flavor profile, but it is 10% more attenuative. This eliminates the
residual sweetness, and makes the yeast well suited for high gravity ales. It
is also reaches terminal gravity quickly. 80% attenuation can be reached even
with 10% ABV beers. A recommended nutrient schedule is to add
Servomyces to the kettle at the end of the boil, and then follow that
with a 6 grams per 5 gallons addition of Fermaid K half-way through the
fermentation. This nutrient schedule acts as a supplement to
your yeast for exposure to high alcohols. Think of
giving your yeast nutrients as having a water break while running the
marathon.
Attenuation: 80-85%

For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.
