2 packs of Safale S-04 Yeast. Pitched at 20c.

Qs

Well I've an IPA fermenting with s-04 at the moment thats using a similar amount of hops I'll let you know if its hoppy when its done. Those high temps could definitely be a problem though, big beers and high temps is a cause of fusels so thats probably the alcohol taste.

I also pitched lower than that on mine. I prefer to pitch low and raise the temp up slowly than go in as high as 20 for most English and American yeasts.

Thanks for the information Qs. Looking forward to hearing how your beer turns out.
