Safale US-05 is one of our favorite dry yeasts. It is essentially a dry version of the classic American ale strain offered by other yeast manufacturers, and exhibits all the same qualities that make these yeasts so popular. A clean, neutral flavor profile is produced, and acts as the perfect base on which to build excellent American style beers. Often used in pale ales and IPAs, it is a versatile strain that can be used in almost any style. It is relatively attenuative, ferments well and clears well with a little time. It can be used when hops, malts, or both are to be accentuated. All of these attributes make it an ideal choice as a house strain. This is definitely a great yeast to have a pack of on hand for brewing emergencies!
