Directions: To use SafAle US-05 Beer Yeast, rehydrate the yeast in water at 95°F (35°C) for 15–20 minutes before pitching. Then, pitch the yeast into your wort at the recommended fermentation temperature of 64–74°F (18–23°C). Ensure the wort is aerated well before pitching the yeast, and follow your brewing recipe for additional timing and process steps.

Review: Great price on bulk yeast - I've been buying bulk yeast from the same sellers for years. I always get it fast, and the yeast is fresh. I wouldn't buy from anyone else! I've never had any fail to start fermenting. 500g fits perfectly into a quart mason jar, and I use a food saver to vacuum seal the jar. 500g lasts me about 6 months and it's just as good on the last batch as it was the first! Review: Great fermentation, every time - I usually order these bricks from my distributor, but was outted. This availability through desertcart saved the day. Product great as always. ## Features - Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate - Pitch Directly into Wort! - Will Make Over 500 Gallons of Beer! - Shelf life is 24 months from production dat - Same strain of yeast as Wyeast #1056 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0149H429O | | Age Range Description | 18+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #64,395 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #55 in Beer Brewing Ingredients | | Brand | Fermentis | | Brand Name | Fermentis | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | American | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 78 Reviews | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.52 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 500 Grams | | Leavening Agent Type | Active Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | Fermentis | | Model Number | Does not Apply | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | Does not Apply | | Set Name | Safale | | Size | 17.5 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Vegan | | Unit Count | 17.5 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fermentis - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 500 Grams - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 17.5 Ounce ## Images ![SafAle US-05 Dry Brewing Yeast – 500 g (1.1 lb) Package – American Ale Yeast – Sold by North Mountain Supply - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71q35+3OuNL.jpg) ![SafAle US-05 Dry Brewing Yeast – 500 g (1.1 lb) Package – American Ale Yeast – Sold by North Mountain Supply - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JgXBGozML.jpg) ![SafAle US-05 Dry Brewing Yeast – 500 g (1.1 lb) Package – American Ale Yeast – Sold by North Mountain Supply - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+NuXrRNTL.jpg) ![SafAle US-05 Dry Brewing Yeast – 500 g (1.1 lb) Package – American Ale Yeast – Sold by North Mountain Supply - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Hgm+wCaEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much do i use for a 1 bbl batch?** A: 1 Pack is more than enough for 10bbl so 1/10th would be sufficient. 50g **Q: Best before date of current stock?** A: 01/2024 **Q: What is the best by/use by date on the 500g us-05 product you're currently selling?** A: 02/2023 **Q: How long can the yeast last once the bag has been opened?** A: I would say after opening seal up with plastic ziplock bag and keep in Refrig can probably go 3 months or longer ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price on bulk yeast *by P***L on December 9, 2021* I've been buying bulk yeast from the same sellers for years.
