Zurich Lager Yeast WLP885

[Roadie]

After some internet searches it appears this yeast is supposed to be available in September and October each year but I can't seem to find it. Has anyone seen it for sale?

It's available for purchase online.

Saflager S-189 is the same but dry.
I've used it on a pre prohibition lager and it turned out great.
No starter either, just dumped it in the fermenter.

+1 for S-189. Great yeast. Also available year-round.

They have it at my LHBS.

My usual store was out but on the way home from the Scottish Games this weekend we stopped at another store and I found some. A guy in my brew club gifted me a Samichlaus and I'm going to do a clone of it.

I just received some from a friend, I am making a bock, and my WLP 833 accidently was frozen, any suggestions on technique
