Agreed. I've been looking as well with no luck. I'd be more than willing to pay someone for shipping via PayPal to mail me a rhizome.

Hello all! I brewed a kit from Northern Brewer, Dawson's Kriek, back in September of 2012. I'm wanting to bottle it up now in regular crown cap bottles. My question is, do I need to add fresh yeast, or will the residual yeast/bugs from the 3278 Lambic blend be sufficient? Thanks Russ Sent...

me too!!

If you're sure about your gravity, there is no reason to wait any longer. That being said, taste it. If you don't like the taste, or you feel it tastes too yeasty, let it sit a little longer as suggested. This time will allow more of the suspended yeast to settle out. Use the numbers and...

Brewed again Sunday after rotating the head, and it worked like a charm. Thanks again!

That's exactly what I did before I got a spare freezer. Worked like a charm.

Why would you change the towel? That's where the water evaporates.

That's what I call customer service. Thanks a lot Walter! I rotated it tonight.
