  • Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05

    Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05

    The most famous ale yeast strain found across America, now available as a ready-to-pitch dry yeast. Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate. Sedimentation: low to medium. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C± 3C(80F ±6F). Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C(68F). Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.

Notes

Attempting the Humperdinck for those that didn't get enough. SG 1.074 FG 1.014 took reading today 12-03-09 and I will let it sit for a while in the bottle quite bitter at first needs a little time. Spices come through overall.

Amber pour with a clean spiced finish

2009-12-21 8:59pm

The beer pours quite nice with a little head very amber copper tones head has beige tones. It pours with a thick head then settles to a light cover with one main island. The aroma is nice and bread like. The taste is quite bitter with a great rush from the orange peel. Clean malt very little hop and malt flavor more of the orange peel and some ginger with a little bite at the end from the Grains of Paradise.
