best pale ale yeast

[pp270]

what is the best pale ale yeast that you recommend for the cleanest tasting ale? One that produces the least amount of grainy taste?

My last pale (Dudes Lake Walk) used S-05 and it was absolutely delicious!

I've been on a Wyeast Northwest Ale kick lately, #1332. Here's the description:

One of the classic ale strains from a Northwest U.S. Brewery. Produces malty and mildly fruity ale with good depth and complexity.

Origin:
Flocculation: high
Attenuation: 67-71%
Temperature Range: 65-75° F (18-24° C)
Alcohol Tolerance: approximately 10% ABV

I used it at cooler temperatures, and didn't like it quite as much in the latest IPA.

I'm also using more Pacific Ale yeast (White Labs) WLP041:
This White labs yeast is a popular ale yeast from the Pacific Northwest. The yeast will clear from the beer well, and leave a malty profile. More fruity than WLP002, English Ale Yeast. Good yeast for English style ales including milds, bitters, IPA, porters, and English style stouts. Attenuation: 65-70% Flocculation: High Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65-68°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

Overall though, I'm still liking the WLP001 the best. For dry, I like S05.

what is s-05?

safale us-05, it was called us-56 originally. and i agree, it does make a great pale ale

i agree with the nottingham preference. i think it comes out cleaner than the safale-05. if i want a slightly less attenuating yeast i like the wlp #060 american ale blend.
