The Workhorse of My Brewery
I use US-05 for almost 80% of my ales. Incredibly reliable yeast. Always starts fast, ferments clean, and drops out nicely. You can't go wrong with this strain.
Clean & Crisp, Perfect for IPAs
If you want your hops to be the star of your IPA, this is your yeast. No off-flavors, just pure, bright hop aroma. US-05 has never failed me.
Great for Beginners
When I was just starting to brew, this was the yeast recommended to me, and I have no regrets. It's very forgiving with temperature and handles many beginner mistakes. The beer always turns out great!
