Profile
White Labs' Essex Ale (WLP022) is a liquid ale yeast that produces a full-bodied, malty beer. It has a high attenuation of 73.5%, with medium-high flocculation and an alcohol tolerance of medium. The ideal fermentation temperature for this strain is between 19.0 to 21.0 °C, making it an excellent choice for ales brewed in cooler temperatures. This yeast produces an estery flavor profile, which makes it perfect for traditional British-style ales such as pale ales, bitters, stouts, and porters.
