expensive - hmmmmm

Expensive is one word for it!! 125 quid for a slant!! Need to hone in my yeast culturing i reckon

If only they released a little more than "British Brewery" I'd begrudgingly be willing to shell out the $400 if I could get "true yeasties" from Wm Stones (Sheffield) and Robinsons (Stockport)

Kind of a put off as you dont know exactly what your getting. Confidentiality apparently. There was a bloke on telly from a local microbrewery who got a chance to brew with some 60 year old yeast from there. To try and get a guess of how ale in the 50's might have tasted. Its intriguing but as you say, a bit more info would go a long way
