Omega vs Giga IPA Yeasts

[TechyDork]

I am looking to brew my DIPA again and I want to use the Conan strain of yeast. From what i have read on this forum it sounds like just the ticket to take my citrus filled DIPA to the next level.

My question is are these two yeast the same strain just from different companies?

Omega yeast DIPA ale

Giga Yeast Vermont IPA yeast

I have been eyeing the GIGA Vermont IPA yeast, but it is almost never in stock when i check.

Are there other options and/or suppliers out there I should look at? I like farmhouse because I can order all my hops as well.

Yes, these are the same strains. Most of the boutique yeast companies offer some form of "Vermont" yest. The Yeast Bay offers a Vermont ale strain too. IIRC this is Conan, supposedly isolated from Heady Topper.

Good to know.

Thank you!
