Mash went a lot smoother with the bag clipped up a bit to.prevent it from getting sucked in.

Boil went smooth with normal additions as per recipe. Except that I added in 1 gram of yeast nutrients. Thinking this might help for lower ABV beers when not as much sugar is present.

Fermented down to 1.010 as expected. Although you wouldn't think it by the taste. It is very malty and slightly sweet, but has good bitterness to balance.

Beer has this weird sharp/acidic and maybe astringency thing to it at the end? Makes drinking it unpleasant. This is the second time that happened with this yeast and this irish red ale. I used the yeast for other beers in between the irish reds and the others ones turned out fine. Possibly something to do with this yeast and the dark grains in the irish red?
