{"product_id":"lax","title":"LAX","description":"\u003cp\u003eWHC LAX is a dry American ale yeast isolated from a well-known West Coast brewery. It attenuates 76 to 80%, throws almost no esters and finishes clean, which makes it the neutral workhorse of the WHC range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is very little yeast flavor here by design. LAX ferments dry and crisp and lets late hop additions read clearly, which is what a modern West Coast IPA needs. It handles high-gravity worts without stalling and crops cleanly for repitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewing with LAX\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFerment at 64 to 72F.
