I love Conan.

How have I not used this before?

I'm a few days into my first Conan fermentation, and WOW, this stuff is awesome. It is like drinking hoppy peach juice.

Can you buy it somewhere? Or do you still need to harvest it?

 

[HumulusHead]

I ask because that sounds amazing. I sometimes purposely ferment s05 low to get some o that peach flavor.

A few companies produce it now. You can find it. Talk to your LHBS. That's what I did. Omega is what I got.

You can look online too. It's around

I see yeast bay is a company that sells it. $8.5 a vial tho. Damn. But I may have to do it.

Maybe northern brewer has it I'll check them out

I haven't gotten into yeast freezing but if you can do this, the price of a package of yeast is almost always worth it.

Even if you don't freeze yeast, yeast harvesting can still get you at least 5 batches from 1 vial.

Yeast is only expensive if you purchase new packages for every pitch.

It's something I should get into. The closest I get to saving yeast is by pitching on a freshly racked off yeasty cake. More often I just justify my laziness by buying dry yeast, which honestly suits my needs very well for the most part.

Though it's yeast like this thread is about that makes me want to try different yeast.

Ya, I got it from Omega, too, and I've also seem that the yeast bay has it.

After shipping and handling, I definitely paid a bit for it. It is what it is, though. I got their lacto blend too, so I attribute shipping costs to both batches.

I wanted to make some extra starter to pull some off for storage. Life had other plans. My toddler pulled my stirplate off the counter, luckily with nothing on it yet, but it broke. So, I had to order a new stirplate and didn't have enough time to propitiate extra before brewday. With the new stirplate and the Conan, the yeast cost for this batch was over $100, ugh!

Ferm Temp? - I pitched at 64, held at 65 for 2 days, then increased 1F/day, which I'll probably continue to do for a few more days, until it's 70ish.
