    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

Lacto culture made with yogurt and cracked malt in starter wort. 4 days old, 1 cup of strained liquid pitched. Lacto pitched at ~85 F, yeast 5 hours later at 72. Efficiency listed as low, really just diluted the first runnings.
