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
The real yeast is Cooper's Ale yeast, but WYeast 1056 should work. Of the 3 pounds of honey, have at least one pound clover, orange or some aromatic honey and only boil the honey 15-20 minutes.
