Thanks for the info mate been hanging for the release date of Aussie ale. Not able to get coopers over here to harvest.

 

[Phoney]

Quite a few I'd like to give a go in there! :icon_drool2:

Particularly like to compare WLP037 Yorkshire Square Yeast with WY1469 Yorky

 

[DUANNE]

two have got my attention. the munich helles yeast, wonder if its the augustina strain? and very curious what the brett brux trois is and how it differs from the standard brett brux.

 

[Screwtop]

But who is stocking them, been waiting for WLP022 for years.

In stock now, generally regarded as a different yeast. Some say possibly Sam Smiths.
Had a Mild Ale win Best English Ale at last years Tanunda Show with 42points using this yeast.

But who is stocking them, been waiting for WLP022 for years.

Will have this next order, mid to late February.

good news about the Beliner strain going full time....

I must do another one.

Not sure who is stocking them up north, but I'm in the fortunate position of having two local HBS that stock White Labs.

Personally, I'm looking at the 510, 644, 585, 665, and 072. Having the 566 and 670 moving to all year availability makes me just a tad happy

Canberra, I understand they have a post office near by.

from the aforementioned link WLP644 Brettanomyces bruxellensis Trois (MAY-JUNE release)
This Belgian strain, used traditionally for 100% Brettanomyces fermentations, produces a slightly tart beer with delicate characteristics of mango and pineapple.
sounds more like brett c than b. might have to give that one a go in an all brett beer and compare it to the all brett c beer i did a while back.

My latest shipment arrived today.
Included were WLP009, WLP022 and WLP351.
Needed to be quick to snare any of the other Platinum Strains from this order as the locals have snapped them up already.
