hey guys, just putting it out there.......
8 months ago I started brewing again after a 4 year break(no space for brewery setup). 5 years ago I would have never considered wrecking my beer by using a dry yeast , I did however on occasion use 1056. When I found out this has now been dried i was quite excited. As I did not have all my yeast /lab gear set up when I started brewing again I used US-05 for my first few batches.
To my delight this US-05 yeast was extremely clean and attenuative (more than 1056 ever was). It even floculated reasonably well. Problem was that a couple of hours into drinking I needed to Sh!t. I thought oh no! I have got old and can't handle beer any more.
Luckily I was persistant and went back to some good old Wyeast strains(3068,1007,2575,1275....) - no more tummy troubles.
The reason I bring this up now is because tonight a third person independantly mentioned to me that the beer they brewed with US-05 gave them tummy troubles. I am interested to see if anyone else suffers this, or if anyone has experience of being individually alergic to a particular yeast.
