Thanks for the input everyone. The fermentation process went smoothly, each turned out with appropriate final gravity. And, most importantly, each tasted fantastic. I do now have many dry packs of yeast on hand, for future emergencies, thanks for the tips.

Thanks for posting, testing on Boulevard lovers, and for the details. Boulevard and Lucky Bucket are two of my favorite wheat beers, been looking for a clone, planning a trip to my local for ingredients for my next brew day. One of my carboys opens up in a couple days. Sent from my iPhone...
