White Labs - Trappist
WLP500
From one of the six Trappist breweries remaining in the world, this yeast produces
the distinctive fruitiness and plum characteristics. An excellent yeast for high
gravity beers, Belgian ales, dubbels and trippels. If you're trying to clone Chimay this is the yeast you want to go with.
Pitch at 66-68F and let it rise up 1-2 degrees per day and hold it at 72-75F for 7-14 days. This yeast can dry out a beer no problem. With a starting gravity beer of 1.080 SG we recommend using 8g Fermaid K (AD345) in conjunction with this yeast during the first 24-48 hours after pitch.
Attenuation: 73-78%
Flocculation: Medium to low.
Fermentation Temperature: 65-74F
Wyeast Equivalent: 3787 Trappist

NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LIQUID YEAST BE SHIPPED VIA 2-DAY AIR.
MANY CUSTOMERS ORDER YEAST SEPERATELY FROM OTHER ITEMS TO REDUCE SHIPPING COSTS. ICE PACKS ARE AVAILABLE AND RECOMMENDED DURING SUMMER.
IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO PROOF YOUR YEAST (see "YEAST STARTERS") AND/OR HAVE DRY BACKUP YEAST.
IF YOU THINK YOUR YEAST HAS BEEN DAMAGED IN TRANSIT OR ARE MAKING A HIGH GRAVITY BEER, PLEASE MAKE A YEAST STARTER BEFORE PITCHING. WE CAN REPLACE YEAST THAT DOES NOT START, BUT CANNOT REPLACE A FAILED BATCH.
