Looking for Wyeast 1968- London ESB Ale

[blisster]

Looking for Wyeast 1968... Does anyone have any? Thought I would check before ordering later this week...

Figured someone might be using this for their competition entry. I'd be happy with collecting trub and washing..

Cheers,
Pierre

I did compition brew on Sunday and pitched 1968 into one of the carboys.  It won't be racked for a few more days once primary fermentation is finished.  I am planning on washing the yeast so may have a mason jar for you by the end of the week or Monday at the latest.

Guys, I was planning to do Chris's Bitter recipe sometime in the next few months, if you have any 1968 left over, I'd appreciate it... don't need much I can always make a starter...

I will see how much I have when I rack.  I also used a 1098 British Ale yeast so will have a jar of that up for grabs.  It should be used soon since I am only  pour a bunch of distilled water in the carboy, filling up a large 2 litre jar and then pouring some into smaller mason jars after sitting for an hour or so.  Did this last night with the American Ale 1056 from a pale ale I racked and it looked pretty good this morning.

That would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
I will be away for the long weekend but can pick it up any day next week if you have an extra mason jar... I can make a starter from it so I don't need much at all.

I have some White Labs WLP080 Cream Ale Yeast Blend that has been washed if you are interested?

Good luck washing the 1968. That stuff drops out like a rock ... very difficult to wash in my limited experience!!

Jake, ever since you changed your avatar you use wrestling speak. 

Yes the 1968 - high flocculation. when it's healthy on the starter plate it looks like egg drop soup!
It's probably the only yeast I can recognize visually.

The equivalent in the White Labs is WLP002.

I'll probably have some mason jars in about a month.

Your right, that shit drops like a stone.  I have 3 mason jars that have yeast and some trub from a pale ale in it.  I was going to wash it a bit more but not sure how mauch I would get since it does drop so quickly.  I plan on draining the liquid one more time and at least adding some more pre boiled water.  Whoever is interested, it yours.

Put my name down for one... I'm out of town until Monday evening but can pick it up any day next week...
