Greenbelt is the yeast that AHS recommends, but Greenbelt (I believe) is an AHS-only variety. From what I had read, any American Ale yeast should be suitable - I went with 1272 because it's supposedly fruitier than 1056.

Yep - I always pick up the yeast locally rather than having it shipped- my LHBS isn't that far away, and worth the drive to know that the yeast is fresh and undamaged. I used American Ale 1272. I forgot to check it this morning - hopefully the yeasties will be vigorously eating away when I get...

I have it brewing right now- the mini mash version. I'll post up how it turns out.

When is your next meeting? Roselle is a little ways from here (Wheeling), but I've be interested in joining up some time. Brewing by myself (like I am now) is not nearly as fun.

Wow! That's an upgrade.... Actually, I really like where we live in Wheeling. Some parts are nice, others, not so much. Just like everywhere else, I guess.

Welcome to the board! There's a great brewing store in Dubuque - I wish I was close to one that nice.

Where in Chicagoland are you? I'm just starting to get back into brewing myself, having just moved to Wheeling.

Where in NE Iowa are you? I'm in Cedar Falls, and would pick up 4 cornys from you.
