White Labs WLP007 Dry English Ale (1.5L starter made with stirplate)

Add 24 ounces of toasted coconut to the secondary for a week!

Holy chunky yeast! WLP007 English Dry Ale yeast flocculates like a MO-FO. It's was getting almost chunky looking in the flask/stirplate.

At first I thought something was wrong, but researched and found out that this is pretty normal!

Looks good! Give WLP007 a try sometime. It's also very flocculant and has done great things for me in the past. Cheers!

Whoops! That's what I meant.... WLP028 is Scottish Ale...

I did use WLP007....

Ha! Indeed. 007 is extra chunky. Good luck! I expect good results.
