Clean, highly flocculent and highly attenuative yeast. This yeast is similar to WLP002 in flavor profile, but is 10% more attenuative. This eliminates the residual sweetness, and makes the yeast well suited for high gravity ales. It is also reaches terminal gravity quickly. 80% attenuation will be reached even with 10% ABV beers.

Feedback and experiences from previous customers.
This is now my preferred yeast, even over WLP001 or WLP090. Fast start, fast finish, and very good flocculation. Seven days in primary and just five days in bottles produced a beautifully clean, clear beer. OG 1.040, FG 1.010
I have used this for my old ale 3 previous times with excellent results. This time I decided to boil 3 hrs instead of 2, and got a dense wort of 1.116 OG in my 5 gal batch. Thankfully, I made a large starter from two pitchable 007 packets. I was concerned about alcohol tolerance from a beer that projected to be about 12% abv, but after 17 days in primary at 67-deg. I was convinced it was ready to go to secondary (no bubbles after watching airlock for 4 minutes). Didn't want to transfer earlier and cut yeast volume, so I let it go 16 days to wind down on a full yeast cake. I did however, give it a good shakeup after the first 9 days. Settled out well, transferred to keg and the gravity was 1.030, tasted great without residual sweetness! Glad the yeast didn't crash or stall, and projections figure 11.7% abv. At a 74% attenuation rate (so far), I'm really pleased. This is a huge beer.
