Funk weapon #2 request

[jfolks]

Does anyone have any viable funk weapon #2 they could ship me? (Bootleg biology is out). I'm in Portland, Oregon - willing to trade beers, ECY dirty dozen, lambic culture, or just simply pay for shipping. Thanks all!

I spoke with Jeff at bootleg biology at NHC last week and he said #2 will be back up later this month!

i actually found some at High Gravity home brew shop. little expensive at $11, but too late to cancel now.

Nice! Please post and let us know the production date (hope it isn't terribly old!

FYI, the next preorder from bootleg biology starts July 5th.

package date 3/17. not fresh, but not terribly old. brett seems to hang around alot longer than sach. will put it on a starter for a week and see what happens.

 

[jfolks]

Not bad! Can't wait to get my hands on some

 

[SanPancho]

dont suppose anybody has any right now that they can share/swap?

So I bought some from B.B. and all three FW cultures SUCKED. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THESE STRAINS! I told BB about the issue, and they sent me a care package with a bunch of free yeast - which was cool. But still, all three FWs made really bad 100% Brett beers. Straight up chemical poison tasting.

Im not sure your experience would be considered typical

Yeah, I just used FW2 for the first time and was very pleased with it. I've also used TMF's Saison Blend (brett/lacto) from them and absolutely loved that one.

That’s good to hear. I just don’t understand why all three made such similar off-flavor forward beer. I really liked MF blend, solera 17, and sour P

Oh yeah, I forgot I also just used Sour Weapon P for the first time in my sour orange creamsicle. I freaking love that pedio for quick co-pitched sours.

I had very good results with all my BB yeasts. I have used all three FWs, in 100% brett, and mixed fermentations.
