White Labs - Irish Ale
WLP004
From one of the oldest stout producing breweries in the world. It produces a slight hint of diacetyl, balanced by a light fruitiness and slight dry crispness. Great for Irish Ales, Stouts, Porters, Browns, Reds and a very interesting Pale Ale. To ferment this yeast properly pitch at 63-65F and let it rise to 65-68F. Ferment for 10-14 days in the primary. This strain can be used in all ales because of its clean crisp character it produces. Irish ale can also be used to help finish a beer's stuck fermentation.
Note: this latest batch of WLP004 has a mis-print on the expiration date - it should read 2009, not 2008. White Labs has been made aware of this mistake.
Attenuation: 69-74%.
Flocculation: Medium to High.
Optimum Fermentation Temp: 65-68.
Wyeast Equivalent: 1084 Irish

NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LIQUID YEAST BE SHIPPED VIA 2-DAY AIR.
MANY CUSTOMERS ORDER YEAST SEPERATELY FROM OTHER ITEMS TO REDUCE SHIPPING COSTS. ICE PACKS ARE AVAILABLE AND RECOMMENDED DURING SUMMER.
IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO PROOF YOUR YEAST (see "YEAST STARTERS") AND/OR HAVE DRY BACKUP YEAST.
IF YOU THINK YOUR YEAST HAS BEEN DAMAGED IN TRANSIT OR ARE MAKING A HIGH GRAVITY BEER, PLEASE MAKE A YEAST STARTER BEFORE PITCHING. WE CAN REPLACE YEAST THAT DOES NOT START, BUT CANNOT REPLACE A FAILED BATCH.
