All-grain recipe designed for brewers with an all-grain system
Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
Classic dry Irish stout with coffee and chocolate character
Bone dry, exactly as advertised
There is no sugar in this recipe, so the dry finish the name promises comes entirely from the yeast. US-05 attenuates further than anything else here and stays completely neutral while it does it, which leaves the Chocolate and Black Malt roast sharp and unsweetened.
Ferment at 64-79°F
Attenuation 78-82%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and neutral
Roast with a little fruit behind it
1084 was made for dark wort and it shows, working cleanly through a heavily roasted grain bill and adding a subtle fruitiness underneath. Keep it cool and that fruit stays restrained. Let it climb and it comes forward against the roast.
Ferment at 62-72°F
Attenuation 71-75%
Flocculation Medium
Built for dark beer
The roundest body under the roast
This one comes out of one of the oldest stout breweries in the world. It finishes fullest of the four, giving a rounder body beneath the roast while keeping a dry edge on the end. Its temperature window is narrow, so hold it steady.
Ferment at 65-68°F
Attenuation 69-74%
Flocculation Medium-High
Dry finish, roast forward
Dry and neutral, British accent
1098 ferments dry and crisp to a clean neutral finish, so malt and hops lead. Unlike a lot of British strains it works properly at the cool end of its range instead of stalling there, which makes it forgiving in an unheated room.
Ferment at 64-72°F
Attenuation 73-75%
Flocculation Medium
Dry, crisp, neutral

How the Brewing Process Works
Brewing your Bone Dry Irish Stout follows a classic stout brewing process:
Mash: Convert grain starches into fermentable sugars.
Sparge: Rinse the grains to collect sweet wort.
Boil: Add East Kent Golding hops for restrained bitterness.
Ferment: Ferment with English ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated.
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks.
This recipe highlights bold roasted malt character while keeping the beer dry, smooth, and true to the traditional Irish stout style.
New to Liquid Yeast?
Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.
Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.
