Wyeast 1056 American Ale™
Wyeast 1056 American Ale™
Used commercially for several classic American ales. This strain ferments dry, finishes soft, smooth and dean, and is very well balanced.
Notes
In a ridiculous newbie move, forgot to buy yeast and didn't realize until after the wort was ready. Added wort to sanitized fermenting buckets and left over night. Added W1056 American Ale yeast the next day (12 hours later). Had air bubbles forming within 5 hours. Seems to be going well.
