I found this thread when looking for replacement yeasts for 5/6 kits left over from lockdown.

Unfortunately I haven’t been brewing for many years and indeed my local home brew stores are long gone.

So may I ask where can you buy this please?

Many thanks

I'm in the U S: Ritebrew.

Does it taste like S04 or is it more neutral?

I don't detect anything yeast related.

Beer tastes good. I'll be using this again.

1.049 to 1.013

And tastes pretty good.

1.049 to 1.013

Went from 1.049 to 1.013.

Use a clean ale yeast. The only temperature control I have is what my basement is. I sometimes brew a lager grainbill with ale yeast in the summer and an ale grainbill with a lager yeast in the winter.

Is it repackaged Nottingham?

I have no idea, but on a different forum I saw a post claiming it was similar to S-04.

It was burping through the airlock every 15 seconds 22 hours after pitching.
This morning every 4 seconds 46 hours after pitching.

1.049 original gravity. Burping through the airlock every 15 seconds 22 hours after pitching.

My first go with this, in an ESB of 1.049: 3.3 gallons.
