Hey guys, im pretty new to brewing.
I recently started working at a brewery and I love it and have access to unlimited information and ingredients from my boss but I dont like bothering him too much.
I've been making beer at home to get a better understanding of everything so I dont have to try and learn on 1000 litres batches that I could potentially ruin.
Anyway, I've recently make a dark ale, about 5kg of grain in total, probably about 4.4kg of ale malt and 600g of dark chocolate malt (I think, I was very out of it when I milled the grain) in a roughly 28 litre batch, I used safale us05 yeast, and I've found a fair few forums online saying it makes for a really bad dark beer, I used it because I had a couple packs left from my previous batch,
Anyone have experiences using us05 in dark beers?
