Ive got two vials here. Vermont IPA & Funktown pale ale. 



P&P is pricey 7.85 GBP for two vials & 1 cool pack. ParcelMotel isnt an option as they charge flat rate 12 GBP for delivery to NI.  Nice to be able to get them though.

I bit the bullet and bought one of each apart from the Brussels Brett and the Abbey, so, the 7.85 shipping was all right by me. Looking forward to brewing with them, particularly the Saisons...

+1 for these. I pitched a vial of each of the above yeasts in the pic. No starter, 1 vial in each carboy & had signs of life in 6 hours. OG 1046 / 20 LTR of wort.

Deadly! Very inspiring interview with JK below. He goes into a bit of detail on Heady (grain bill, yeast) & also mash PH.

Iv had a watch of that before it's very interesting, no hops in the boil is an interesting thought I plan to use some of his thoughts in my own brewing

Hop bomb wat do u do to store your yeast for long periods of time? I'd like to save some of this yeast!

I thought this advice was interesting on the malt miller:
"
Due to significant variation in growth rates among Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, starter cultures are still not recommended for complex blends containing multiple types of organisms due to the risk of significantly altering the proportions of the blend which may produce significantly different character than intended."

I kept a bit of this fresh vial. From that Il inoculate some slants. These can be stored in the fridge. Then you can step up from a single slant & make a starter. There is a how to article in the brew wiki I think. Pretty easy to do. Takes a few hours but worthwhile homebrew tinkering.

Any chance I could get some off you Tom?
