WLP008 East Coast Ale Yeast, AKA “Brewer Patriot” strain, can be used to reproduce many American versions of classic beer styles but has been gaining popularity for its use in East Coast IPAs. Its neutral character similar to WLP001, offers less attenuation asn will not accentuate hop bitterness as much and offers a hit tartness in your beer. Very clean with low esters. White Labs reccomends this yeast strain for golden, blonde, honey, and pales ales and German alt style ales.

Why PurePitch Next Gen versus other options?
Typically yeast manufacturers use a range for how many yeast cells are going into each package. This can vary widely, especially from strain to strain.  Next Gen offers a far more precise cell count across all strains allowing you to use the Whitelabs exclusive pitch calculator. Simply scan the barcode on the back of each package to be taken to their online calculator. Enter the volume, strength, and pitching temperature of the wort you are fermenting and the calculator tells you exactly how much yeast to pitch. You will be fermenting like a professional brewer, using the same concentration of yeast every time and enjoying more consistent results.  Don't need a full package? Put the lid back on and store in the refrigerator for your next batch. Whitelabs has also increased the viability (the number of living cells in the package) over the shelf life of the yeast. Next Gen strains are grown in their unique, small-batch reactors to assure freshness and then packaged in a special film that allows for off-gassing, assuring that their viability is absolutely industry leading.
