    I use 1056 quite a bit. It's never really in a hurry to get out of the way. And the krausen can be pretty persistent, even when attenuation is finished or nearly finished.

    Bigger kreusen than I expected. Actually pushed a little into my airlock on my APA.
    OG was only 1.040 so I was surprised to see that. Still bubbling away too after 4 days.

    Wanted to try this 1056 because I heard it is a good "generic" pale ale yeast and I want to try washing/harvesting this one to reuse.

    If I'm able to ferment in the low to mid 60s, I add my dry hops on day 6, then bottle after 14 days. It's been working out great. I usually use US-05.

    My first and only IPA that came out fantastic:

    12 days primary-12 days secondary ( dry hopped all 12 days )Bottle and then taste on day 14.

    Using whirlfloc and WLP001 .. beer is crystal clear. As a matter of fact .. this was my picture at bottling day.

    The more I brew the more I realize how simple it can be. No need to over complicate things. At least I havent seen a reason why yet. :wink:
    Look at that clear beautiful bastard would ya

    How big of a dry hop did you do? Dry hopped beer should not be that clear unless you filtered or used finings afterward.

    for me with 1056, it's more like 7-8 days primary, 7days secondary and then 10 days in bottles for it all to be ready. Compared to the schedules above this seems fast. Is there something I'm not doing correctly?

    That was 2 oz of whole leaf Crystal hops < wrapped in cheese cloth >. I did not filter or use finings. Simply used the whirlflock and wlp001 yeast. I also use ozarka spring water ( which shouldnt matter ). I did put the bucket on the counter 2 days prior to bottling so it would settle back down again after I moved it.

    Maybe it's the whole leaf hops. I always use pellets and my dry hopped beers always have a hop haze to them.
