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
use grains in a mini mash in a seperate pot, then sparge in the brewpot, and pour the extracts from the pot used for the mini mash over the sparge water. add 2 one pound dark chocolate bars to the boil and shred one up to add to the secondary (post-fermentation) bottle in 750 ml bottles in case the sugars in the chocolate re-energize the yeast....that way if it starts to ferment or carbonate a little more during bottle conditioning, the bottle will not explode.
