SAFALE™ US-05 sensory profile

SafAle™ US-05 is a neutral yeast strain

Dosage / Temperature:

50 to 80 g/hl at ideally 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F).

Usage:

Lesaffre know-how and continuous yeast production process improvements generate an exceptional quality of dry yeasts that can withstand a very wide range of uses, including cold or no rehydration conditions, without affecting their viability, kinetics, and/or analytical profile. Brewers can choose usage conditions that fit the best their needs, i.e.:

Direct pitching:
Pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel on the surface of the wort at or above the fermentation temperature.
Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort, ensuring the yeast covers the entire available surface to avoid clumps. Ideally, the yeast will be added during the first part of the vessel's filling; in which case, hydration can be done at a wort temperature higher than the fermentation temperature, with the fermenter then filled with wort at a lower temperature to bring the overall wort temperature to fermentation temperature.

With prior rehydration:
Alternatively, sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water or boiled and hopped wort at 25 to 29°C (77°F to 84°F). Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes, gently stir and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
