Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale Yeast

The yeast arrived alive. Yeah! One pouch for 5 gallons in the PF.

My experiment has been a success. Rave reviews from all partakers.

Added puréed cranberries to the boil. Elevated the CO2 content about 50% with a little more priming sugar.

ABV ~ 5%.

I would describe the taste as mildly tart with subtle hops flavors. Bubbly with a short but stable head.

Have not used as of yet. Product did come in a timely matter and was in great shape.

I've used this yeast on a previous stout and it worked great. This time the yeast was slow and died after the 1st day of fermentation. I think during shipping the yeast was stressed or something. When the package arrives the cold pack was barely cold. I immediately put the pack of yeast in the fridge and hope for the best. So to be fair, based on what I know from the 1st stout, it is a great yeast. Just didn't work out this time but I would still get it again.

Irish ale. Can we get past Killians Red and Guinness? Yes! I brew a subtle and delightful Irish ale with Irish malts and some Maris Otter, maybe a little smoked or peated ale and wee bit of black for the obligatory color. A touch of hops, Goldings maybe. And voila! You've got a very nice Irish session ale. The Irish ale yeast locks it all in. Beautiful pour. And it's a crowd favorite.

This is my go to yeast for Irish Stout and Porter. This time I will be trying it for English Mild.
