Product Overview
WLP500 Monastery Ale Yeast (PurePitch Next Generation)
Sourced from a Belgian monastery, this strain is ideal for Belgian quads, tripels and dubbels due to its high alcohol tolerance. It produces characteristic notes of plum and cherry with a hint of bubble gum. Lower fermentation temperatures (65-67°F/18-19°C) result in less fruity and more earthy beers.
PurePitch® Next Generation combines the ease of the vial and the innovation of PurePitch®, offering a pouch with a cap and double the pitch at 7.5 million cells/ mL; a commercially recommended pitching rate allowing you to pitch like the pros. No need for starters!
Characteristics:
- Attenuation: 75-80%
- Flocculation: Medium to Low
- Optimum Ferment Temp: 65-72°F Lower temperatures (under 65°F) will result in less fruity and more earthy beers.
- Alcohol Tolerance: High
