Well, I wasn't really afraid of it drying out too much, until I read everyone's experiences in this thread. Like I said, I've achieved pretty consistent 75% AA with this yeast before, and I wanted a little drier brew with this blond, thus the sugar.
I guess I wasn't too clear in the OP. I've heard some voice concerns that US-05 can give off some apricot/peach type esters when not drowned out with hops/roasted malts, etc. That's more of what I'm concerned about here. Like I said, my bro is a BMC drinker and I kind of want to introduce him to a little bit of hops & malt with this brew. I want the yeast to stay out of the way.
