Yes - there is never enough (as I learned this past Christmas and New Years )..so make some plans for bottle storage or a kegerator... Congrats on the first brew..

Welcome to HBT

Good score .. storage space is a challenge, so I switched to these

I want to try the 1056 - said to be very neutral.. I have made 3 batched with WLP001, and I like the results ..

Love WLP001 - It doesn't quit - my new replacement for Nottingham...it is a neutral yeast

I stop at 3-4 ... but each batch, washed, yields 2-3 pint mason jars for the next starter, so I start to lose track ... and that's when I break down and fork over $7 for a fresh vial ! I do it mostly for the convenience.

Happy New year!
