Brewer notes

WLP001 California Ale Yeast is a dry ale culture from Lallemand-White Labs (WLP001). Fermentation character can show clean and crisp notes. Useful for IPAs, Kölsch, porters, and stouts. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 75–85%, fermentation range about 18–23°C (64–73°F), alcohol tolerance around 13%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
