I know this is an older strain from a company that doesn't exist. Does anyone know of an active yeast bank that might have it for sale? I am looking for vials or slants not a pitchable quantity.

Brewed it this afternoon and hit 1.076 @ 5.5gal. Which comes out to 72% efficiency according to both beersmith and brewer's friend. My last beer, an all Galaxy APA I hit 74%.

Thank you for the advice. I will play with my beersmith I might have my setup off somehow. I did put this into brewer's friend and got closer to your numbers and will definitely tone down the bitterness. I did want to keep it around 100.

According to my beersmith mobile app that IBU calculation is accurate. FWH gives a nice round bitterness and a good amount of flavor so I want to incorporate that. This is also for a 90 min boil.

3 gallons Blonde ale + 3 gallons saison + 3 gallons maple sap blonde + 5 gallons Galaxy pale ale. New total = 18306.5

This is almost the exact recipe I am brewing this weekend! I wanted to design a blonde that would be great for summer. What yeast did you use? I am splitting mine between us-05 and wyeast french saison.

I just did my first AG batch from them and my efficiency was right around 62. I'm thinking that it's all in the grind.

Here is my 28 quart igloo MLT. I used 1/2" cpvc pipe, 90's, T's and ball valve. The brass tube adapter is 1/2" to 3/8". The cooler was $16 from walmart and $10 for all the manifold parts. I will update when I have it all sealed up. Any critiques are greatly appreciated. Sent from my...

What number should it be?

I'm not sure but they are for drinking water so I would guess they are food safe.

I figured as much. I reported that right away. Thanks for your reply.

Sorry I should have specified extract only at this point.

Has anyone ever tried using the ones you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot? How would they do for a batch that wasn't going to be aged?
