Seabass, that's good to know about the Wyeast Scottish. If I would have used that in a carboy instead of a bucket I would have lost a significant amount of brew! Thanks for the info.

I would have to agree with the 3711 posts until I made a starter last night with Wyeast 3726 to use in brewing the Saison De Noel. It was at 79 degrees, off in minutes and had a 1 + 1/4 inch top foam within an hour!

Hops are in short supply due to demand for farmers to grow corn for fuel. They get more $$ for corn. Also the European growers had a bad year. Shortage raised prices, brewers started stock pileing and created another shortage. Short supply = higher prices. Panic sets in and viola! Few hops...
