Where can I find yeast to ferment a 1bbl brew?? I don't want to buy 8pkgs of the wyeast or white labs to ferment the 31gal
I'd say you can find it at the bottom of a 5 gal batch! Seriously, think of a 5 gal batch as a large starter for your style. Use whatever yeast you want for your 1bbl batch and brew up a fairly low OG beer (1.050 or so) using the yeast you want to use, then just use the yeast cake once you are done with the 5 gal batch. Saves you money on yeast, and you get an extra 5gal of beer out of it!
