Heady Topper- Can you clone it?

Looks nice! When you say you used Conan, did you use a commercialized strain of it or spin up a starter with some Conan dregs off a fresh can of heady?

I used Vermont Ale yeast from Yeast Bay. White Labs sells it now.

Brewed yesterday with Omega's ALDC-producing version of Conan (OYL-436). Typically I've used isolates grown from cans of Heady or Focal. Will see how it compares. Start at 69F and raise to 72F, increasing 1F per day.

I've done the dreg yeast to make Focal Banger before, worked well.

I'm going to do a version sometime this winter and I'm going to try the dry East Coast 01 Conan from Gozdawa.

Gozdawa are cheap and can be a bit hit a miss but I heard good things about their version of Conan on a German homebrew forum.
