I'm starting to use the Whitelabs yeasts more recently and being a fan of American IPAs, was wondering if there is a good equivalent of Safale US-05 which is my current favourite. Can anyone recommend anything?
 
That's what I thought, although isn't the fermentation temperature a little on the high side?
 
20-23 deg c is o.k, remember this yeast is for these temps so it has been designed/engineered so as not to throw off flavours, though there's nothing to say you can't use it at lower temps.
As it's confidently used in pales I wouldn't hesitate to use it at those temps.
Something in the back of my mind is telling me this is US05 but ICQR :hmm:
IIRC a few UK micros use a yeast similar to this temp wise.
