White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
This is the yeast from one of the oldest stout producing breweries in the world. It produces a slight hint of diacetyl, balanced by a light frui|iness and slight dry crispness. Great for Irish ales, stouts, porters, browns, reds and a very interesting pal
Notes
After the 60 minute boil, I pulled the hops and boiled the beer for another 45 minutes to caramelize the sugar a bit more.

I put this one into the secondary after two weeks and it has a developed a dark krausen- again. When I was siphoning this one to the secondary my tube got clogged with chocolate bits. It smelled great though. I should be bottling this one in about a month so it can sit for 8 and get ready.
Opinions please

I have been thinking about this recipe and how I hope it will turn out. What I have started to wonder is should I add some vanilla and/or molasses to this beer in a tertiary fermenter? Another topic I would like someone to help me with on this is- should I pitch more yeast to make sure the fermentation is done? The reason I ask is because another beer I am making(with a higher ABV) says to do this, can anyone comment with suggestions or results?
