Updating Beersmith

**RLinNH** · 03-17-2008, 12:03 AM

I went to the site and looked, and looked, and looked to no avail. On two seperate occasions, the yeast I have used has niot been in Beersmith. How in the heck do you update beersmith and is SafAle's 05 that new?

I added safale us-05 to the yeast list myself. On your yeast tab, choose add new, then go to the safale webpage for all of the relevent info, like flocculation, attenuation...... Plug all of that in, then it will be in your list of yeasts.

Actually it is in there but listed for some reason under "DCL Yeast".

It will be Safale 56. They changed the name to 05 a year or two ago. I believe this had something to do with a law suit and the fact that it's basically a dried version of wyeast's 1056.

I should also mention that you can add anything that is not in the ingredients database yourself.

Just select the appropriate ingredient view (on the View menu) and then use the "New Hop" or "New Yeast" button to add the new ingredient.

Cheers!

I found this PDF, but it doesn’t have flocculation or attenuation. Would you post the information or where you found it? Thanks.

I have the newest version of BeerSmith, but for some reason Safale 56 is not in my database. What am I missing?

Did you look under "DCL"?

S-04, K-97, S33, T-58, S-189 and S-23 are all that are listed as DCL.

Off topic, but while on the subject of Safale US-05. Used it for the first time on Sunday's brew. Pitched at around 10:00pm. Activity by morning. By 10:00pm last night there was only about 1” of krausen, but totally wild activity. This morning the temperature of the carboy was up to 75 degrees in a room that was 65. Is this normal for this yeast? What flavor changes can I expect from the extra heat?

Put some frozen water bottles under the sweatshirt that’s covering it and got the temperature down to 70. Should I go for lower or has the flavor profile already been established?
