SafAle US-05 American Ale Yeast 11.5g

Description

SafAle US-05 American Ale Yeast 11.5g is a neutral brewing yeast for clean and well-balanced ales. Its fermentation profile allows malt and hop character to remain prominent in the finished beer. This makes it especially useful for modern American-style ales and hop-forward recipes.

SafAle US-05 Fermentation Characteristics

This American ale strain produces a relatively neutral flavour profile. Therefore, it is a good choice when you want the ingredients in your recipe to provide most of the beer’s character.

During active fermentation, the yeast forms a firm foam head. It also has a very good ability to remain in suspension while fermentation is underway.

The clean character makes this strain particularly suitable for American beer styles and highly hopped beers. As a result, it works well in recipes where hop aroma, flavour and bitterness need to remain prominent.

Suitable Beer Styles

This yeast is a versatile option for many modern ale recipes. In particular, its neutral character makes it useful when you don’t want strong yeast-derived flavours competing with the malt or hops.

It can be used for a range of American-style ales, including pale ales and hop-forward beers. In addition, its clean profile makes it useful for other recipes that call for a neutral ale fermentation.
