It looks like you can order as an individual homebrewer. I signed up out of curiosity and selected those categories. How can I obtain White Labs yeast if my local homebrew shop doesn’t carry it? If your local homebrew shop does not carry our yeast, you can simply order the yeast you need off...

I wonder if Stingo is bottled with the primary yeast. I had planned to harvest it myself when I saw your thread. The release late last year wasn’t available in NJ and using the beer finder on Merchant du Vin I found some in the Wegmans in King of Prussia. I bought 5 bottles and only drank...
