Mountain Goat?

Well, you do get two goes at pitching fresh yeast for that price. At least that's how I see it.

Oh dear, I just put down a low-gravity APA with Notto; am I in for a rude shock? It'll be my first time using it. Anyway, just to bring it full circle, I really hope that either a) Danstar release this in homebrew size packages or b ) Someone (HINT HINT) starts re-packaging the big blocks...

That's a REALLY long time. For an average gravity brew the ferment should be almost over by day 5, at least in my experience.

I still don't properly follow - I had assumed the companies in question (Fermentis, Lallemand or whoever) didn't approve, or they would provide the yeast in smaller quantities themselves. But unless I'm missing something there is nothing stopping a retailer from re-packaging from a 500g brick...

Huh? I think I'm missing something; aren't you allowed to do that? I thought it was a fairly common practice. Like with S-189.

So, it looks as though it is only available in 500g bricks; will a local retailer do a re-pack for us perhaps?

Well I'm sure the recipe changes from time to time, so what was correct 6months ago might not be anymore. A few months ago I had trouble culturing the yeast, and was told they moved to a lager yeast for bottle conditioning; can anyone confirm or deny? Finally, when I was there, probably over a...

Is it, can it be? Will anyone have it in home-brew quantity any time soon? BRY-97 American West Coast Yeast

Kanpai motherf*****s!

Socialist (well, communist) in name only; like any good (evil) regime.

Slightly OT; do you guys prime your Brett beers, or is it too risky?

Ok, switch your brain to the ON position, then read the quote below. Try reading it a few times, till it sinks in... If anything, people who arrive with "papers" often aren't fleeing much more than economic circumstance, and are LESS worthy of refugee status than those who risk their lives on...

What, the ~4% of "illegal" migrants who arrive by boat? As opposed to the ~96% who come by plane? Why anyone cares is beyond me.

Sleeping Giant is my go-to for a 6'er on the run. Twist tops, available almost everywhere thanks to their Woolies distribution, and less than 20 bucks. Picnic, impromptu dinner (BYO etc), re-up for a party. Plus most plebs don't know what they are and don't nick them from the esky! I'm not sure...

That's a hell of a spice bill! Just a query; are what they referred to as "peas" in medieval times actually green peas?

It's pretty amusing to see how almost everyone who posts political opinions on the AHB assumes everyone else on the AHB will be in agreeance. No doubt there are a wide range of personal politics on the board; from deluded self-sufficiency 'experts' to frothing at the mouth right-wing loons...

Yes and no. Those spec grains can be steeped, but wouldn't make anything in the way of food for the yeast. And the steeping liquor still needs to be boiled. Just use malt extract or a properly mashed and boiled (and cooled!) wort next time.

FFS, If you haven't tried, how do you know? There are too many people here sticking their oar in without any basis for their opinion. 514 could make an AG brew into liquid gold. Or liquid ****. But if you haven't tried, you don't know, and your reply is a waste of everybody's time. So far the...

See my post above; get in contact with either of those two breweries, I'm sure they will have more to say than "...I used it one time in a kit brew years ago..." They've used it commercially. In all-grain beer. Properly.
