Every now and then I'll have a dumper. I noticed a about a year ago that all the the dumped beers were fermented with so5. So I exclusively used S04 for about a year or so and no contamination. Lo and behold, I brewed my first beer in a while using S05 and it's going straight into my lawn. What gives?

None here and I had a long run with that yeast not too long ago.

 

I would look somewhere else for the problem.

Not really dumpers but I did have some that had the peachy-apricot esters which I did not care for.

Yep, same here.  But no contamination issues.

I've had a few come out not quite right lately, too. I start them around 64, then ramp them up over a week to about 72. I'm thinking the cold start may be the culprit, because the ones I've done at room temp recently have come out fine. I think I'll start my next one a little warmer and see how it goes.

yeah - seems like 66F might be a good starting place for US-05

Whoa. Maybe this is it. I ferment on the cool side (start at 62°) looking for a clean beer. I ramp up slowly to 68 over 5 days or so. Maybe starting warmer is the trick.
