I'm just about to make a starter from the WLP550 strain, and was wondering if it is an ok choice for a Belgian pale ale. I have very little experience with White Labs yeast (we basically don't get it at all here, I got this vial from England), so I'm kind of curious as to whether I have chosen the right beer style to brew...

WLP550 is the Achouffe strain. I just made a Belgian Golden Ale with this yeast OG = 1.050, FG = 1.012 that tastes very nice. Like a low alcohol version of La Chouffe.

Sounds good, just about right up my alley. I'm going for an OG of 1052 with 26 IBUs.
Thanks!

Sorry that's not much detail, but there ya go.
