Essex Ale Yeast

White Labs WLP022 Essex Ale Yeast is a flavorful British style yeast with a drier finish than many British ale yeasts. It produces a slightly fruity and bready character. This is a good top fermenting yeast strain, and is well suited for top cropping (collecting). It is well suited for classic British milds, pale ales, bitters, and stouts. White Labs is world renowned for quality and innovation, certified kosher, GMO free, and subject to thorough quality analysis before being packaged. This yeast comes packaged in White Labs' PurePitch packaging using the revolutionary FlexCell process, which creates yeast that has never been transferred or exposed to the environment. The PurePitch packaging is a recyclable, flexible material that allows for increased breathability, reducing the chance of gas buildup and maintaining the optimal environment for yeast.
