Very good yeast Review by Goosehunter75

Rating

I used this yeast to make a batch of my Imperial IPA. I did do a starter first since it was such a big beer and I have had problems with WYeast in the past. I am very pleased with the results. I used an Oxygenator and then pitched the yeast. I had active ferminatation in the airlock within 6 hours (Posted on 3/2/2017)

Love the smack packs! Review by drizzamed

Rating

I smacked this pack a couple hours before pitching. It swelled up and got super tight. Pitched the yeast and in a few hours, I had an active fermentation. 24 hours later, one of the best airlock activity I've ever seen. Works as good as the WL vile. (Posted on 8/9/2016)
