Formulated for dark, high-gravity brews. Imperial Yeast A10 Darkness is a bold, versatile strain that brings depth to stouts, porters, and barleywines. With high alcohol tolerance and medium flocculation, this strain complements roasted and caramel malts beautifully. Ferments cleanly from 62–72°F and adds complexity to any dark ale recipe.
ICE PACKS / SHIPPING:
For best results, we strongly recommend adding an ice pack to your liquid yeast order. Ice packs do not guarantee that the yeast will arrive cold, but will keep yeast colder for longer during transit. We can not replace yeast that arrives warm. In warm weather months, we highly encourage choosing dry yeast.
STORAGE:
Store in the fridge (33–38ºF). Do not freeze. Pitch cold - do not warm to room temp prior to pitching. Use within 4 months for direct pitching. For pouches older than 4 months, or that are warm, use a yeast starter to boost cell count.
