S-04 In An Irish Red

[katzke]

Pitched 21 hours ago at the same temp by just sprinkling it dry. Starting to take off now and checked temperature. It is between 18C and 19C now. Any suggestions on temp to get the best flavor for the Irish Red? I know S-04 is not an Irish yeast but I have decided to use dry yeast and make the best of it. Also if you read my post about extreme brewing you will know it is cold here so the fermentor may not get much warmer unless I use a heat pad on it.

I use a lot of 1056 which the same I believe.
Living in Queensland I need to cool it down to 18 to 19.
Have a fermenting cabinet and hold it at that temp.

Cheers,
Bud
