KeyWestBrewing said:What yeast is used for Heady Topper. I haven't opened mine from my MAW yet, I know crazy right, so I figure I'll jump on the opportunity to propagate it too. I'd love to use it for my Badfish IIPA.
xMalachi said:It is called Conan. It is John Kimmich's proprietary yeast stain. I've read some awesome stuff about its attenuation and the flavors it provides.
Looks like I'm gonna have to jump on the bandwagon.
There is a monster thread here where a bunch of guys are trying to clone Heady Topper:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/heady-topper-can-you-clone-390082/
Seems like a moving target for them, but one thing they all appear to agree on is that Conan is a huge contributor to the flavor and aroma characteristics of the beer. Throws some big, unique esters--so much so that there is quite a bit of debate over whether certain characteristics are contributed by the hops or by the Conan.
I'd say if you have Heady in your possession, it'd definitely be worth it to build up starter from the dregs.

Coff said:Is it weird that I am more excited about the 3 Homebrews than the commercial beers? The Rustic Saison in the champagne bottle has me licking my lips!
nedvalton said:Its a 10%abv Belgian golden strong ale
Drinking it now. It's fantastic! Feel free to include any Homebrew of yours in future MAW packages.
Thanks man. I love the feedback, good or bad. I am almost out of that one I gotta brew it again. Guess I will double batch. I have a 14%abv imp stout going. Its gonna age on Madagascar vanilla beans, cocoa nibs, ancho & chipotle Chile's

igotsand said:My package from Coff arrived!!
Awesome beers!
Thanks again for Conan slurry!!

Maybe down the line we'll put together a thread where everyone collectively makes a giant yeast bank. That way you just say what your looking for and someone hooks you up. As a group the amount of strains that could be collected and kept on hand would be quite impressive.
Or a MAW for brewing equipment! Wanting to step up to all grain, but I'm broke! Lol
I already spend way too much on shipping, I'm not sending any keggles.

I gave some to a friend to plate and he hasn't had the time. Whenever he does, I'd be happy to send out a few vials.
I can ship you a vial of slurry if you want.
Especially after the haul you hooked me up with.
