Found a recipe in BYO magazine, looks good, gonna give it a try...

Here it is in a bit more organized format...

The recipe calls for ECY29. I've never even heard of this stuff and cant find it anywhere local. I figure I can just use my go to yeast Safale 05, but I know I won't get any of the unique yeast flavors. Any suggestions for a substitute for the ECY29?

I literally just finished brewing this! I'll let you know how it turns out in a couple of weeks.

The yeast is the Heady Topper yeast - Conan. There are a couple of places that sell it online - morebeer.com, http://www.farmhousebrewingsupply.com/, http://www.theyeastbay.com/, etc.

Sorry for the delayed updated but this beer is really, really good! Mine finished at 1.014 and it's a juice bomb with great mouth feel.

Yeah yeast bay, omega yeast, giga yeast, RVA yeast labs.....just about everyone except the 2 biggest yeast companies have Conan.
