US- 05

[retourrbx]

Are there any sorts of British ales that US-05 would not be well suited to and why?

I'm thinking flavour profile rather than alcohol content.

great with a hoppy blonde or golden beer. :thumb:

that's what I've used it for previously - is it any good to bring out maltiness? I assume not... Which dry yeast would be the one to use for malty brews?

I've only used US-05 and S-04 so far, 05 for hoppy and 04 for malty.

I prefer nottingham over 04. I like 05 with citrus fruity hops

I wouldn't use US-05 for any British style beer, it attenuates too much and leaves a lower gravity beer tasting watery.

I think Nottingham is a good choice for US style beers, hoppy pale ales. For a British ale I would use a liquid culture.

looking to give a brewlabs slant a try I reckon - probably TV3
