Conan yeast

Has anybody been able to get their hands on this? Last mention I see if it here is a group buy three years ago.

No reviews on it though, anybody around who was part of that and willing to review?

Imagine it's very tough to get now with the popularity of NEIPAs

Best pale ale yeast I've used to date. Absolutely love it.

How does the flavour and esters differ to us-05?

Hate making starters, hence why I usually use dry yeast,  would I need one for that strain? thinking of 20 odd litres at 1.050 max

I bought this last week - have my first full batch fermenting at the moment. The starter did smell of peach/ fruits.

Andy my OG was 1.052 and based on this http://www.brewunited.com/yeast_calculator.php I made a starter.

Yeah you'd need a starter. The yeast bay vials only have about 80B cells fresh and you'd need about 200B for that batch.

Seems the second batch is where the flavours from this yeast really take off. So definitely worth washing and storing a few jars after the first beer is done

I will be anyway! Am on about my 20th generation of WLP090..

Might be using this instead - depending how my first batch goes..
