  • FermentisUS-05Safale US-05

    FermentisUS-05Safale US-05

    The most famous ale yeast strain found across America, now available as a ready-to-pitch dry yeast. Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate. Sedimentation: low to medium. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C± 3C(80F ±6F). Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C(68F). Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.

Equinox Single Hop Saison

Nice and Simple

A nice and simple SMaSH...I used Australian Galaxy Hops not Equinox (Galaxy isn't on the calculator list). A nice hoppy and crisp beer. Make sure to get full attentuation from your yeast, healthy yeast, good aeration, etc. Mind didn't fully attenuate to 1.008, it's about 1.011, so its not a crisp as it could have been. But still very enjoyable and easy to drink, low ABV, so you can have a few. Came out very nicely. Enjoy!
