Title says it all really. Thanks
I just looked at my LHBS web site and they list it as US-05. I've also got an empty pouch and it says the same thing. Where on earth did I get US-56? Maybe I blended the WYeast name with the Safale name?Hercules Rockefeller said:I've been seeing some posts lately refering Safale's california ale yeast as s-05, which I thought was us-56. Am I missing something here? Or are those the same yeast with just a new name for marketing purposes?
rockout said:I have a related question: how long can you keep a dry yeast packet in the fridge before it's bad? I notice that most of the dry yeasts are much less expensive, and I've had no problem with the 2 I've used, so I'm thinking about using them exclusively. Just wondering how many I should order, since I can only use about 2 a month, if that.
