  • 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

Toast the Oatmeal first for a nice aroma and flavor... First mash the oats with the English 2-Row for 45 minutes at 152F. Sparge twice and add liquor to the boiling pot where you've been steeping the other grains at 150F. Do a late-addition of half of the liquid malt extract. If you like, add a half ounce of Fuggles at flame out.

Bottle today with an FG of 1.019 -- didn't dry out as much as I'd hoped. I attribute this to too high a steep temperature for teh specialty grains, and too short a mini-mash for the oats and pale 2-Row... However, the aroma is nice and rich, and the first taste tells me this could age nicely. You get a nice burnt toast and cocao up front. The mouthfeel is appropriately "slippery" like an oatmealer ought to be. Stay tuned.

Liked it! Very Good, and not too sweet like some stouts.
