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

Hello everyone, I am planning my next batch and would like some help. So far this is what I have. If anyone has suggestions or comments please let me know. I am a new homebrewer (this will be my 6th batch) and need all the help and advice I can get. My one question for anyone willing to answer is: in the description of Irish Reds it talks about low to no aroma, but in a lot of the recipes on here people are using aroma hops? Is that just a personal preference or a lack of knowledge. Thanks
Brewed Last Night 2/8/2008

I brewed this last night. Nothing unusual, steeped grains by bringing to a boil, took off heat and then put grains in water for 30 min. Brought back to near boil took off heat and added LME, DME, honey, and brown sugar. Then brought back to boil and added hops. Boiled for 45 min then ice water chilled the brew pot. Pitched yeast at 78 deg. Woke up this morning to an active fermenter! Only new part for me was using a bag to boil the hops. Seems to have worked out just fine. OG = 1.058 Hope it turns out good. I will keep you updated.
Taste Great

I bottled this about 2 weeks ago. I chilled a few for a St. Patrick's Day party. This beer turned out very good. In another two weeks this beer will be amazing. About 6 people tried it and they all loved it, they are all begging me for some of it. Well thats my update, if you decide to brew it I hope it turns out as good for you as it did for me.
