Wyeast | 1056 American Ale® | Beer Yeast | Activator Smack-Pack System™ | 100 Billion Cells

    Description

    • 1056 is a very versatile yeast for styles that desire dominant malt and hop character
    • Very clean, crisp flavor characteristics with low fruitness and mild ester production
    • Activator Smack-Pack System™ "proofs" the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort
    • When smacked, the Activator™ packet releases sugars and nutrients to initiate the culture's metabolism
    • Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available
    • Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation

    Very clean, crisp flavor characteristics with low fruitiness and mild ester production. A very versatile yeast for styles that desire dominant malt and hop character. This strain makes a wonderful “House” strain. Mild citrus notes develop with cooler 60-66°F (15-19ºC) fermentations. Normally requires filtration for bright beers.

    Please note that 1056 American Ale has been known to bloat when shipping due to the yeast "off-gassing". Please put this yeast in your refrigerator when received, as the yeast will be fine and should still be viable.

    For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

    Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

        IPA Workhorse

        Remains my go-to yeast for American IPAs and pale ales. Reliably takes off in a starter and then settles well for decanting. Ferments clean.

        Awesome

        The yeast was great. Didn’t need a starter. I had it for a month before using it and it worked great. Only took a couple hours for it to start fermenting like crazy.

        Good stuff

        It was good and performed well but I had to make a starter because it didn’t come with an ice pack. Last time I ordered an ice pack it came with two so I thought I didn’t need to order one. Turns out you do.

        Great yeast for clean finish ales.

        Great clean ale yeast. I made a 1L starter for this yeast and pitched into wort. Within 2 hrs active fermentation was achieved. Within 12 hrs it was fermentation madness! Very good yeast for all clean style ales!

        Fresh yeast delivered

        The yeast from Morebeer was very fresh. Within an hour of pitching from the fermentation had already started. Did not make a starter.

        A practical solution to brewing at home.

        Mail order is a practical solution during these stay at home times. My order was filled exactly as I ordered it; one needs to allow about a week to receive the order after placing the order.
