White Labs: WLP500 Monastery Ale (Trappist)

From a Belgian monastery where monks traditionally brew beer, this yeast produces distinctive fruitiness and plum characteristics. An excellent yeast for high-gravity beers, Belgian ales, dubbels and trippels. Lower temperatures (65-67^°F/18-19^°C) will result in less fruity and more earthy beers.
