Get some Conan Yeast

[richieh]

seeing as all our eggs will be in one basket here, it's probably a good idea to try to get some ice packs or something in there? I never bother when buying yeast, but then again I'm only risking 7 quid or whatever. Yeast dies pretty quick in this heat (and I presume it's much hotter wherever they are)

Id say they ship them with ice packs. Hop & Grape do & they arent a yeast manufacturer like these guys. Il ask though to make sure.

In fact, the result of fermentations conducted with the Y-7408 culture that Al Buck revived from lyophilized (freeze-dried dormant) form pretty much match those of Conan.
...
With the above said, the good news for non-yeast geeks is that Al has made both of these strains available in liquid form. His company is called East Coast Yeast. Y-7408 is being sold as ECY10 Old Newark Ale. Y7407 is being sold as ECY12 Old Newark Beer.

Al and his bug farm releases are hugely respected across the pond.

When's the ECY group buy?

hi tom,
apologies for not getting back to you sooner.  things have been blowing up here.  using usps priority express it looks like we can get the yeast shipped in 3-5 days for about $105.00.  The least expensive service is priority mail at about $79 but it takes 6-10 days for delivery and that's just too long for the yeast to be outside a refrigerator.  let me know if this works and we can get something out to you next week.

3-5 days shipping for 105 USD?  What say ye? That works out at 9.45 USD per person before club bank fee.

That's more or less what I guessed above. So about 8 euro per vial? Barely more expensive than buying it online from Ireland!

sounds good!

[Alex Lawes]

I'm on for it. I'll have to start slanting now I suppose!

Didn't been here for a long time. Dreaming about Conan yeast .....Any chance to pitch in, even at this late date ......

[Hop Bomb]

All the yeast pitches are spoken for Kaz but Im certain a few people (including myself) will be slanting this to keep in the yeast bank so there will be loads to go around in a few weeks.
