An excellent choice in the production of stouts and other dark beers, Wyeast's Irish Ale strain is the classic strain from the Guiness Brewery. Although it is most popularly used in stouts, it can produce a number of wonderful beers and can be used to great effect with high gravity worts. At lower temperatures this yeast is crisp and dry, with an underlying fruitiness that becomes more evident and estery with higher fermentation temperatures.
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!
