what to expect from using yeast 1084 irish Ale yeast

[Redpappy]

I have an extra pack of Wyeast 1084, long story short - I got an extra pack (by mistake)with my last order from more beer. I plan on brewing up a red ale tomorrow. Recipe calls for us-05. I have brewed this several times using us-05. I plan on using the 1084 tomorrow and I'm wondering on what I should expect, versus using us-05?

Ferm temps will be ambient temp of 64F. I ferment in a bucket in my basement. Bucket stays on the concrete floor.

12 oz Cara Pils
12 oz Crystal 10
12 oz Crystal 40

Expect an Irish Red Ale instead of an American Red Ale. Seriously, it should be fine. Probably a little fruitier, in a good way.

Yes, expect a better beer. Wyeast 1084 is good stuff. You should save the yeast and make a stout or porter.

I love 1084. I went through a faze of using Voss for my stouts but switched back and i love the results. I find its ready to keg and drink after 10 days without cold crashing. I am not sure if its the norm but mine produces a very small krausen. It seems to produce a more flavourful beer than a neutral yeast. I need to do a red ale soon.

You'll love it! 1084 is a nice yeast, but wow, that's a ton of caramel/crystal malt. You are most likely going to end up with a very sweet beer, which is okay if you like that. Even Irish red ales, though malty, are not that sweet.

I used 1084 once in, you guess it, an Irish Stout. It was very clean, no diacetyl at all. The beer was crystal clear, too.
