I just wanted to mention that I've had a vial of this yeast in my fridge for over a year. It
was part of a Bass Ale Clone extract kit I bought from Austin Homebrew Supply. The "best if

Just a note. All kinds of life-interruptions happened, and I didn't get to rack to secondary

I do enjoy Anchor Steam, would you share the recipe?I'll try to get that posted this weekend.
Since it's from a kit, I'll just retype what they sent.
