I agree on it having a low temp threshold.. 1056/05/001 has done just fine for me at 58F. Mark aka S.Cerv posted that it likely has roots as a lager yeast.

I have fermented US-05 at lager temls just as an experiment. I fermented a small batch at 50* with a huge pitch and it dod just fine. It was actually quite lager like too, but still not quite a lager. I dont know if I would donit again, just theiwing it out there after reading the last post.

It has always been reliable for me as a go to Ale yeast but floculation and clarity does seem to vary.

I have heard of others using it at 50F with no issues as well other than it takes a bit longer which is no surprise...

Not a big fan of US-05.  My brews never seem to be what I expect.
