Hello fellow brewer,

i must start with a apology for asking this, but i've read the yeast bank rules and didn't found the answer. Can somebody that have some spare yeast slants or other form of yeast storage send some to me, in Romania?
Here we got only one homebrew stuff distributor and he simply make his own prices, and they aren't small at all. I observed prices over 300% bigger than the same item on a foreign site. I could order some yeast from those sites, but the majority of them don't ship to EU or simply have enormous costs for that.
I some of you have some spare yeast that can send me i woul gladly accept it, even one that seems infected, i can try to isolate some yeast from it.

Thanks and sorry for my english.

No Nottingham, just a generic Muntons yeast, and sometimes Fermentis. I just want to be able to keep a strain of yeast using slants and reusing it. I tried washing the slurry, but it doesn't work indefinetly. From what i've read you can't make slants from dried yeast, it will not work properly, i couldn't find a testimony of one that harvested dry yeast and got good result.
