Hi folks, of late i've been using safale us-05.
I'm curious what are your experiences. I used nottingham almost exclusively the last 1-2 years and its very consistent and usually finishes in 3-5 days.
However, US-05 is very slow. On average it seems to move around 5 points per day.
Batch #1 - 1.050 - 1.011 in 9 days
Batch #2 - 1.052 - 1.012 10 days
Batch #3 - 1.054 - 1.018 9 days
3 of these batches where at the same temp and i checked the gravity 2-3x after the 5 day mark for each batch.
Its seems awful slow to me for ale yeast..
What are your experiences?
