Jim's Beer Kit

I recently got the yearly letter from the water department. For the third year in a row Fort Wayne water has been judged to be the best tasting water in Indiana.

1.001 this morning.

Gravity is 1.001

I pitched 5 grams of this into 9 liters of apple/tart cherry juice (1.048) at 10am and it was already burping through the airlock at 7:30 pm.

It's burping every 2 seconds this morning.

My yearly summer batch of cider.

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.
