Anyone used Harris yeasts?

Has anyone used Harris yeast? https://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/ha ... ewing.html
It's certainly cheap - but how does it compare to other, more expensive dried yeasts?

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that is repackaged Notty/ Gervin ale yeast.

It's not that cheap as the sachet contains only 5g. Other brands are 10-11g.
I'm cheap. Just give me beer.

Perfect size for 2-3 gallon batches.

I still use their paint brushes.
