Safale US-05 Yeast (11.5g)

Safale US-05 is Fermentis's American ale yeast, known for neutral, well-balanced beers that are clean and crisp. With low diacetyl and low esters it lets hops and malt do the talking, making it a go-to for pale ales and IPAs.

Character

• Clean, crisp and neutral, with low esters
• Forms a firm foam head during fermentation
• Stays well in suspension, so it keeps working through the ferment
• Ideal for heavily hopped beers

Fermentis specification

• Pack: 11.5g sachet
• Temperature: 18-26°C

How to use

Pitch dry onto the wort or rehydrate in ten times its weight of sterile water or boiled wort at 25-29°C for 15-30 minutes. Store sachets below 24°C for up to 6 months, or below 15°C for longer. Once opened, reseal, keep at 4°C and use within 7 days.

Try it with Cascade hops and Extra Pale Maris Otter for a classic pale ale. For a fruitier English character, choose Safale S-04. Browse the Fermentis yeast range or our beer yeast selector.
