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 2 lbs of pale malt, run off to about a gallon and set aside. Culture with raw malt. Let sour until desired results achieved. I like ~24 hours. The rest of the malt is brewed as normal. Add the hops to this portion. Optional: boil the soured portion briefly to kill the bugs. Also optional: mash hop and skip the boil. Combine both portions. The result should be a mild brown ale with a refreshing sourness.
