SAFALE US-05 DRY ALE YEAST Description

This Safale US-56 dried ale yeast is a dried American Ale Yeast, reputed to be similar to our 1056 ale yeast strain. This ready-to-pitch dry yeast offers low diacetyl for well-balanced ales (according to the manufacturer). Our preliminary tests have shown, however, that it does not produce nearly as clean a beer as our liquid 1056 American Ale Yeast.

 Keep in mind that, based on our many dry versus liquid yeast tests over the years, dry yeast is never as clean-flavored as pure liquid yeast (but can be a good choice for someone who values convenience and reliability).  Fermentation temperature range: 59 to 79° F.

Safale US-05 in 11.5g is supplied in 11.5 gram packets, suitable for pitching 5 gallons of wort(formerly called Safale US-56). Click here to download a manufacturer's pdf data sheet.

Pros:  Short lag and a strong fermentation. Finishes clean with a high attenuation. Slurry from one fermentation can be re-pitched with excellent results. Two packs can give you a good pitching rate without a starter. 
Cons:  None. All of the usual terrible things you hear about dry yeast is all wrong with this one.
