Ha! I bought a US-05 ten pack off eBay and possibly from the same people. I've not actually had any trouble with it. I'm sure some of the packs are getting a bit beyond their best and certainly this one was a treat. Rehydrated it as I've started doing with yeast and it's going great guns. Hopefully it's not too hungry and leaves a bit of sugar behind.LAGERFRENZY said:The only time that US 05 has let me down was when I foolishly brought a ten pack off Ebay. Not blaming the vendor as such as the yeast was well within the best before date but god knows how many vans/ loading bays and sort facilities it went through with Aus Post before it landed on my doorstep. Every packet of that lot started late and wanted to finish early...

Actually usually just dry hop at fermentation temperature (18c), haven't heard anyone suggest that I should be dry hopping at a lower temperature. Would be keen to find out more though!razz said:I'm doing the same Welly, going away for the weekend so will keg on Tuesday or Wednesday. Do you dry hop at 14 degrees? Read it from one of the craft breweries.
