WLP515 substitute?

Post by Jeremy Dunn » Wed Oct 13, 2010 8:59 pm

I want to brew a Belgian style pale ale and would like a yeast that has a very subtle Belgian character.
WLP 515 is seasonal, so I'm thinking WLP 570? Any suggestions?

In my experience all yeast will produce less esters/ flavors the colder the fermentation. WLP 500 (Chimay) produces a subtle profile fermented between 63-65 degrees.
You gonna buy one, or be one?
.....I'm gonna be one!
