I plan on revitalizing my conan with a fresh starter this week and would be more then happy to ship a full white labs sized tube by express with cold packs in exchange for local craft beer.
There are 2 other members here who could vouch for me, being we made the same arrangement about a month...
I put together a recipe and her and I are going to brew next Sunday. Here it is and we hope it comes out good. If anyone has suggestions, I'd welcome them.
The Celiactrixxx IPA:
