Need Yeast today in Santa Rosa, CA

[8eerGarage]

Hi all,

Does anyone in the Santa Rosa area have some Nottingham, WLP039, US-04, or WLP007 they will sell me?

I got a bad package of Nottingham. It has been 40 hours and no activity. The LHBS is not open today. The last brew that went this slowly, everyone called the clove beer. I do not want more of that.

Thank you

Just as an aside, the Nottingham pack was poorly sealed along one edge. There was a barely perceptible hole on that edge. I only examined it closely after I pitched and waited 24 hrs with no activity. I did a search on the packet, "Austria 1080472V, 07 2012," and then found the many threads about bad Nottingham. Yes, I rehydrated, aerated, marinated, agitated, vibrated, and procrastinated.

Go to Russian River with a sanitized mason jar and ask for some rockpile.

I'm in Sebastopol, I've got a couple packs of Notty you can have. I'm only 12 minutes from Bev Peeps, but I feel your pain when they aren't open. PM me if you are still looking.
