Yeah I saw that. I guess all I really need is the average attenuation %. I'm going to guess that floccuation is medium and I know the temp range is 59*-75*.

I've seen talk of folks getting 80% attenuation.

I'd say the average attenuation is 73-75% for this yeast...

In my beersmith S-05 entry I put in 73%. Not sure where I got that number, maybe I took the middle of the range. Though the last batch I fermented with it went from 1.062 down to 1.009 and everything else I use that yeast on attenuates more than I expect so I need to start planning for it
Isn't it US-56 with a new name?

Yep, but US-56 wasn't in Beersmith either

I just copied the info from Wyeast 1056, as they are both supposed to be the same "Chico" strain. Close enough for government work.

I keyed them in myself (like you are now) before I realized that BeerSmith lists Fermentis yeast as DCL Yeast.

Beer alchemy lists it as 75%.
But then it does allow me to edit it, so they are probably just picking the mid-point of possibilities.
It's actually in mine, but under Fermentis instead of DCL in the "Lab" column.

Interesting. Are you running v1.4? I am and it (us-56) isn't there.

It wasn't in mine either, until I added an entry. Furthermore, there is nothing listed under Fermentis, just DCL. v1.40, build 033.
Hopefully Brad will pop in and clear some of this stuff up.
I'm actually on v1.4 build 031, so it should be there. Strange. I did run a web update at one time, so maybe I picked it up there? I don't know.
Anyway, the given attenuation of -56 is listed at 70%. Flocculation: Medium. temps: 59-75

I have Beer Smith 1.4, Build 37 and this is what my options are:
I ran into the same problem trying to put together a recipe. According to Beer Smith, the S-04 attenuates at 73%...wouldn't the S-05 attenuate more than just 2% more?

I would probably start at around 76-78% attenuation and then adjust after doing a few batches in your setup. I've gotten as high as around 84% with it.
I've never found a US56 or US05 in Beersmith even under DCL, I've always added it myself. Maybe whoever had it in already imported a recipe from someone that had manually entered it.

Looking through my brewlog, that's exactly the range I've gotten with all my US-05 batches. I'm going to adjust the profile to 77%.
I love this yeast, if sedimentation was a little higher it would be perfect for most of my beers.

I have an earlier build. Maybe they took it out when they changed the name and didn't replace it?
Attenuation is listed at 70%, but I agree with the higher numbers in practice.
I can't remember where I dug the info from...Maybe someone here awhile back...but here's what I put down in my beersmith.
For what it's worth, and i don't know if they translate, 1056 for me has been performing around 80-85%!
I generally consider WY1056, WLP001, US56 and US05 to be interchangeable.
Just make a copy of one of the others and change the relevant info. I have added US-05 to my Beersmith because it is one of my most common yeasts.
