I could be wrong, but I don't believe there's a dry equivalent. Regardless, I normally use 1056 for APA, so S05 would work great. 1450 is nice for the fuller mouthfeel though. All things equal, it's my house recipe APA (other than rotating hops) and it works great with 1056/05.
Thanks Jon.  That will be on my short list to brew.
Many of us would be on a strict liquid diet if it weren't for pretzels.

Cool. It's based on what (at one time at least) was one of Russian River's APA bases to use for hop experimentation. Curious to see what you think.

Me too!
I'll be using Thomas Fawcett MO and GW 2-row.  But that shouldn't make much of a difference.

Yeah, simple is almost always better IMO. I've used biscuit and Victory to get a little toastiness, but the MO is a softer toasty character, and doesn't come off like a bitter at that small amount . The glass is one of the Spiegelau IPA glasses - it's smaller but weighted on the bottom, and the glass is light, thin crystal so it's pretty stable actually.
As for the hops, FWIW I added 40 IBU Magnum @ 60 (no more boil hops), then cooled to 175F and added 2.25 oz each of Azacca and Lemon Drop to steep for 30 mins. Dry hopped 1.5 oz of each.
Jon, What was your batch size for those Azecca an LD steep and dry hop additions?  Dry hop in keg or primary?

5.5 gallons postboil, 5 gallons in keg. I keg hop in paint strainer bags and leave the bag in btw.

My new Pils!

Honestly turned out to be the absolute best Pils I have ever had. As far as I am concerned, the process and water profile is spot on. This batch used Tettnanger and Saaz.

This one is unfined and only has been cold conditioning for three weeks (tapped a hair early due to a friend coming over for a share, so I just had to crack into it!)

5.5% ABV, 50 IBU
