Review: Great Mead Yeast - I've used this yeast in a couple batches of mead and it turned out great. The packet was good for 3 1 gallon batches and lasts a good amount of time before it expires, much longer than I would have expected. Review: Best Yeast For Brewing Ginger Beer - Simply put, the Safale US-05 ended my need to mix dry ale yeasts with wine yeasts to get a nice crisp flavor from 8% ABV ginger beer. The Safale delivers its promise light fruit tones, which I've used to counterbalance my heavy-handed inclusion of ginger to my ginger beer recipe. The temperature range, 59-75, is perfect for San Francisco, which is basically 67 all year around. One potential limitation, not sure if it's ingredient or technique specific or not, but when ABV went above 10%, there was a tart flavor imparted to the brew. As it's ginger beer I'm brewing, I cannot say for certain what this effect would be on a wort, but I thought I'd add it in as just a potential pitfall for those seeking to make barley wines, you sick, sick, sugarsweet-beerloving basterds. ## Features - Sedimentation: low to medium - Final gravity: medium - Ideal temperature: 59-75 F - Made in Belgium - Manufactured by Fermentis ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003P5KWKA | | Age Range Description | 18+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #91,456 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #130 in Beer Brewing Ingredients | | Brand | Fermentis | | Brand Name | Fermentis | | Color | Multi | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | Multiple cuisines | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 282 Reviews | | Flavor | Neutral | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00811088014861 | | Included Components | Yeast | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.02 kg | | Item Weight | 13.61 g | | Leavening Agent Type | Instant Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | Fermentis | | Model Number | 30048478 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Size Name | 11.5 g | | Part Number | 30048478 | | Set Name | Safale | | Size | 0.4 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Vegan | | UPC | 811088014861 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fermentis - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 13.61 g - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Safale US-05 11.5 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GKPCnCeqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Mead Yeast *by J***R on March 14, 2025* I've used this yeast in a couple batches of mead and it turned out great.

Totally stays out of the way of your malt and hops allowing the bears other flavors to come forward. Very reminiscent of another major brands liquid California Ale Yeast, yet less than half the price. A bit of a slow starter. I recommend a large yeast starter especially with high gravity ales. Very temperature sensitive, keep it in the upper middle of the temperature range or it can become sluggish. Needles to say it didn't like the cold temps here in Fort Drum, NY. A solid yeast would recommend to anyone ## Frequently Bought Together - Fermentis Safale US-05 11.5 g - Five Star - Star San - 16 Ounce - Brew Sanitizer High Foaming Acid Anionic - Craft A Brew - SafLager W-34/70 Yeast - German Lager Dry Yeast - For Craft Lagers - Ingredients for Home Brewing - Beer Making Supplies - [1 Pack] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/5401595-safale-us-05-11-5-g](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/5401595-safale-us-05-11-5-g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
