Now available in PurePitch Packaging! Irish ale yeast from White Labs is a wonderful strain for producing dark beers, most notably stouts, porters, browns and reds. However, it can be used as a house strain and can produce a unique and interesting pale ale! It produces a hint of diacetyl, with a light fruitiness. It can finish a bit drier than standard British strains, which allows for a crisp ale in the end. This strain is purported to have originally come from the Guiness brewery. A great choice for any stout or Irish red ale, it can be used for any ale where a dry finish is desired.
Product Features

ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
