Problem with amount of Saflager S-23

I was looking for yeast (Fermentis Saflager S-23) on the internet. As there is no possibility to buy it in my local country. However, the only amount offered is 11.5 g. For me it would be quite expensive to buy 6 or more packs as I'm planning to make purchases quite often. Do you know if there is any other amount of Saflager?

[email protected] is the contact email and might be able to direct you to a local source (there is one in Lithuania).

2 packs should be good for a 5 gallon batch at around 1.055. I'm not sure where the 6 packs number came from. If you are going to have to buy the yeast and have it shipped to Lithuania, I would consider buying several of these at a time and then building up a yeast starter every time you brew. The dry yeast will last in the refrigerator for a long time and the yeast starter will get you to the cell count you want.

I suggest checking out a thread on yeast washing. Seriously cuts down on having to buy yeast.

It's packaged in 500g bricks (for microbreweries), but you can apparently buy bricks online from this homebrew retailer:
