Anyone In Melb Have Some Wyeast 1469-pc West Yorkshire?

[bcp]

Have my heart set on doing a few Yorkshire type beers, but this yeast isn't always available.

Does anyone have some? I'm in SE suburbs - well, on the peninsula, but if i have to travel....

And no, i don't want to substitute, I want that one.

I have some 1469 on slants if you want one. I'm in Knoxfield. PM if you're keen.

Cheers :icon_cheers:

Sorry for the :icon_offtopic: but i check in to CB regularlyto see if 1469 is available, but it never is. Anyone know when this will be available again. I signed up to the notify me service tonight. I've not used this yeast but judging by the description and recomendations it'd be right up my alley.

b&h, 1469PC is one of the strains Wyeast keep in their seasonal Private Collection stable, so it is only available from time to time. It is one fantastic yeast and was my house ale strain for yonks. It was last available 4th quarter 2010, so unlikely to reappear for a while unless CB or other LHBSes can jag a stray batch as happened a little while ago. Sing out if you can't get any, I have it on slants and they post easily, more than happy to help out (ditto bcp, 'want that one!' :lol: ).
Alternatively, and pardon the gratuitous beer club plug, you're in Brisbane so perhaps come along to BABBs next week and grab one off me, there may also be a few beers in this month's Minicomp brewed with it:
June 23rd Mini Comp No. 4:- Amber and Dark Ale
At time of entry, beer must be nominated into BABB's beer classes:
5.1 Mild, 5.2 Southern English Brown, 5.3 Northern English Brown Ale, 5.4 Irish Red Ale, 5.5 Scottish Ale, 5.6 Australian Dark Ale, 5.7 Northern German Altbier, 5.8 Dsseldorf Altbier

Thanks guys - Peakydh is going to post me some. I can see slants have advantages over just straight test tubes.

 

[Lecterfan]

OK - now that has been resolved lets wander off topic h34r: ...if I wanted to reculture some 1469 from bottle dreggs from one of my recent batches, would I be better off reculturing from the batch that was the original smack pack in a starter or from one of the subsequent batches that were all top cropped? I prefer the taste of the first/original batch, but I'm pretty sure that was a ferment temp thing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks rdevjun, i'll check out the date for next meeting. And thanks for the info re 1469.

As long as it's breeding true to style with the popcorn/ cauliflower krausen that persists after primary and the flavours are still spot on, I'd have no worries with reculturing from bottles. I normally run my 1469 on for up to 5 brews. In fact I've still got 4 smackos in the fridge*, ought to get them slanted.

*They are in a safe deposit box in a fridge at the local sperm bank guarded by a deaf & dumb Cave Troll 9th Dan, so don't even think of coming down to my place after hours. h34r:

Edit: anyone wanting a bottle of yorkshire gold on 1469 for pickup at BABBs Thurs give me a bell (and a bottle of your best of course)

I have an unopened smack pack dated 11/11/10. It's been fridged since I bought it from the LHBS here. It's yours for what it cost me + postage if you really really want some... happy to send express with a gel pack, or I can smack it before I send and it'll be ready for you to pitch into a starter when you get it; whichever...

Cheers,

Hey Altstart I still owe you a huge debt of gratitude for u-know-what. If you miss out I'll make sure I fridge a bottle of pure top crop from my next brew and get it down to you.

cheers

Post is easy, but Berwick is only a short drive from Baxter.

 

[bigandhairy]

Luckily my boiler stand just happened to be the right height to just run straight into the cube via silicon hose. It was right around this time that I got rid of my cfwc ha ha. And don't worry, botulism is ok once you get used to it

Thanks to everyone who have generously offered to post me some 1469. BribieG has offered me some here locally in bris and i'm
going to gratiously accept his offer. Thanks again.
