Wyeast 1056 American Ale

Information

Very clean, crisp flavor characteristics. Low fruitiness and mild ester production. Slightly citrus like with cool (60-66F, 15-19C) fermentation temperatures. Versatile yeast, which produces many beer styles allowing malt and hop character to dominate the beer profile. Flocculation improves with dark malts in grain bill. Normally requires filtration for bright beers. DE or pad filtration recommended.

Alcohol tolerance Approx: 10%

Fermentation Temps: 60-72° F

Flocculation: Medium Low

Apparent Attenuation: 73-77%

This strain works really well for creating Lager beers with Ale yeast.

I have an Oktoberfest Recipe that I like making with this on the low end.

Other than that, I think it's way to clean for anyone to consider making English styles.

So for the most part it has it's uses, But really not my strain.

Another example of this same yeast is Safeale US-05.
