Safale US-05 American Ale Dry Yeast

Brew crisp, clean American-style ales with SafAle US-05, a neutral ale yeast known for producing clear, well-attenuated beers that let hop and malt character shine. This widely used strain delivers consistent fermentation and a dry, balanced finish, making it a standard choice for hop-forward recipes.

SafAle US-05 is intended for brewers crafting American pale ales, IPAs, and other clean-fermenting ale styles. Its restrained ester profile minimizes yeast-derived flavors, allowing hops, malt, and adjunct ingredients to remain the focus of the finished beer.

This dry ale yeast features medium flocculation and reliable attenuation for a smooth, approachable beer profile. It performs best within a fermentation temperature range of 64 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Each 11.5 gram packet is suitable for fermenting approximately 5 to 8 gallons of beer, depending on wort gravity and pitching practices.

For best results, rehydrate the yeast prior to pitching and maintain stable fermentation temperatures within the recommended range. Proper oxygenation at pitching helps ensure steady fermentation and clean flavor development, especially in higher gravity or hop-heavy beers.

Widely used by home and professional brewers for dependable American ale fermentation, SafAle US-05 provides consistent performance and neutral flavor expression across a broad range of modern beer styles.
