Hi all,
Looking for some advice on whether or not to use WL002 in an IPA style. My concerns is that the description of the yeast states that it "mutes hop character". Obviously the hop character is important in an IPA. I'm wondering if the yeast will only effect hop character during fermentation, i.e. can I still use it and then just dry hop to provide hop aroma after primary fermentation?
The style guide on the White Labs website suggests that this yeast would be fine for an IPA but seems like a contradiction.
Any got any ideas?
Many thanks
