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
Mash at 152F for 60 minutes. Boil 60 min. Ferment at 65F. I have no idea why I used 1056 in this beer instead of the reccomended 1010. An oversight on my part that lent to a beer that wasn't quite what it should have been. If you brew this, be sure to replace the 1056 with 1010.

heh..... well, I got home last night to find that the brew had overflowed into the airlock to the point where it completely clogged it and the pressure build up shot the airlock rubber stopper completely off of the carboy. Foam was actively oozing out of the top when I found it. I did my best to clean it up and put on a blow off tube. Tried to sanitize as much as I could, but I think the carboy was sitting there uncapped for at least a couple hours. The brew smells fine at this point, and it was already fermenting for a few days before this happened, so I'm hoping that everything will be ok. There was also so much foam coming out of the opening that it should have pushed out any contamination that might have fallen inside. Just going to have to hope for the best and wait to see how it turns out!

Well, I kegged it tonight and amazingly this beer is not contaminated! In fact, it tastes really great. Very clean and smooth and mellow. It tastes very similar to the blonde ale I brewed a few weeks ago but isn't quite as flavorful and the hops are more subdued. It's very tasty though, and extremely refreshing. I don't really know very much about wheat beers and exactly how they are supposed to taste, so I can't really judge all of it's qualities yet. Also, the fact that I used 1056 instead of 1010 yeast probably lent a bit to the very clean nature of this beer. I have a feeling it's lacking the traditional yeast beer character that would make this more true to the style. Next time I'll use 1010 and see how much of a difference it makes. FG = 1.012
Not Bad

Nice clean beer. Good, soft, pallet and mouthfeel. Nice soft wheat character pushes nicely through the 2-row. Almost undetectable hop character. Very drinkable beer. If you brew this one again I would use the 1010 and change the hop schedule to something a little more present and maybe spicy, which will help give the beer a little more personality. Cheers!
