Pennsylvania For Sale: East Coast Yeast

[Coff]

1x ECY08 Saison Brasserie $10 + shipping
1x ECY03 Farmhouse Brett $10 + shipping


I just bought a 5 pack of yeast from Joe at Princeton Homebrew. I was only interested in the 3 Brett strains in the pack since I already have cultures of the 2 above. I should have checked the package date before coming to work but they are from Al's most recent distribution.

Price was what I paid for them, not marking them up. Shipping for one will probably be the same for both together, I'll add an ice pack as well.

Is the farmhouse Brett enough for a 10gallon pitch?

 

[Coff]

Probably not technically but when I get a vial of that blend I usually only pitch half the vial into a 5 gallon batch of 1.050 wort. Then top the vial off with sterile water to store for the next beer. But I like to under pitch my Brett beers.

Al says his vials have 2-400 billon cells, so depending on your beer it might be enough.

Shoot him an email though, Ive heard him recommend doing a starter with half a vial then pitching the starter and the other half at the same time. I suppose he recommends that so not to alter blend proportions too much.

Edit: The Sacch in ECY03 is actually just ECY08 plus the Brett, I would imagine that you could pitch both vials into a 10 gallon batch and have plenty of cells and a healthy fermentation.

Last time I did this they were gone in an hour, go figure.
