SafAle™ US-05 has long been a trusted choice for gluten-free brewing, widely used by both homebrewers and commercial breweries for its clean, neutral fermentation profile. While it has historically been relied upon in gluten-free beer production, recent labeling changes from the manufacturer now include a "contains wheat" statement.
