White Labs · Premium Bitter Ale WLP026

White Labs Premium Bitter Ale (WLP026) is a liquid ale yeast that is ideal for producing British-style bitter ales. The attenuation of this strain is 72.5%, which contributes to the final beer's dryness and complexity. The flocculation of WLP026 is medium, creating a well-balanced beer with good clarity. This strain can tolerate medium levels of alcohol, making it suitable for brewing higher strength beers such as English IPA or Barleywine styles. Fermentation should occur at temperatures between 19 and 16 °C for optimal results.
