I am using it as a substitute for A31 Tartan. Have had great success with the Imperial yeasts. Hopfully the A10 will be as good as the A31.

Imperial Darkness
Received the Imperial A10 Darkness on November 21st. The manufacturing date was October 25th. Made a yeast starter for an OG of 1.068. October 28th pitched yeast a 2:30 pm by 7:00 pm started seeing action and a krausen starting in the ferminter.
Next morning fermintation was going great.

Very Active Fermentation
Currently being used to ferment an imperial stout with a OH of 1.094, did a very fast job fermenting majority of it was done in the first three days, now it’s slowly eating through the remaining sugars.. created a 2L starter with it a day before brew day and it instantly starting working as soon as it was added to the carboy

Active fermentation started in 2 hours, slowed in 3 days, and an occasional bubble at 3 weeks. Hit final gravity at 3 weeks also. This required a blow off tube for the first 4 days also.
Worst cleared nicely!
