Fermentis SafAle US-05 Dry Brewing Yeast – 500 g (1.1 lb) Package – American Ale Yeast – Sold by North Mountain Supply

I've been buying bulk yeast from the same sellers for years. I always get it fast, and the yeast is fresh. I wouldn't buy from anyone else!I've never had any fail to start fermenting. 500g fits perfectly into a quart mason jar, and I use a food saver to vacuum seal the jar. 500g lasts me about 6 months and it's just as good on the last batch as it was the first!

I usually order these bricks from my distributor, but was outted. This availability through Amazon saved the day. Product great as always.

The box was in good condition but the product inside was not. It's supposed to be a hard solid brick of yeast and it soft and mushy. According to the package instruction, it is deemed unusable. I would like to received a replacement please

I PURCHASE ONE PACK OF 500G TWICE A YEAR, STORE IT IN A SANITIZED MASON JAR, HEAT SANITIZE WITH A TORCH A ONE TABLESPOON STAINLESS SPOON FOR EACH ADDITION, WORKS GREAT! I ALSO REPITCH 5 OR SIX TIMES, SO THIS IS REALLY A BARGAIN! AS A HOMEBREWER BREWING 20 BARRELS PER YEAR OR SO, IT'S GREAT!

five 10-gallon batches in, last one stalled at 70% attenuation and the one I just pitched in yesterday is very slow / sluggish to start (I pitched 25 g for 10 gallons). Two 11g satchels from my LHBS have no problems and are usually chewing away and steady bubbling by now (same 10gal) – yesterday’s brew isn’t even bubbling (Tilt does show it’s at 12% attenuation though).Date of 'birth' on the brick I got was over 1 year old when received; same with a brick of 34/70 I also purchased at the same time – who knows how these were stored during that time. Bummer, I brew a lot and figured this would be a way to save some $$.To be fair, I live in Vegas and ordered these in Sept when it was still hot out so maybe the delivery had something to do with it (?). However, being a year old when received didn’t make me very happy (along with the sluggish results). Also, how is Amazon storing these in their warehouse? On a shelf out in the open or are these actually kept at just above freezing?

So you know when you start homebrewing and you get carried away and you start brewing 5 or 10 or 20 gallon batches every weekend and then some. Well, thats me and I have way too much beer on my hands. Not a bad thing at all. That said,I stopped buying kits a while ago and now I'm making my own recipes, hence the need of just buying a lot of the standard US-05. Cant go wrong with this work horse.

Already fermented two 5 gallon brews. No issues.

The product arrived very quickly, vendor at their expense expedite shipping. This is a sold all-round beer yeast that offers consistency, great flavor profile, and good fermentation every time. Plan on brewing twice a month and this will bring down my brewing costs down significantly.
