Does anyone know where I can purchase CL 980 (American White Ale) besides from Brewing Sciences?
Here is the description of the yeast:
CL 980 American White Ale
74-76% apparent attenuation • low flocculation • 64-70°F fermentation range
Smooth with an exceptionally round, clean malt flavor.
American profile makes it an integral part of true unfiltered wheat beer.
Also good for American-style altbier.
The reason I'm asking is this yeast is only sold in large commercial volumes and I was hoping to find an a supplier who I could purchase from in typical homebrewing quantities. BrewTek (brewers resource) labs used to be the ones that carried it but these days Brewing Science carries it but only sells it for quantities of 1 BBL or more. WYeast offers CL-50 as WYeast-1450, 'Denny's Favorite 50' but I can't find a version of CL 980 that they carry. I also heard of an east coast yeast supplier that started offerering some of the Brewtek strains but I don't know their name.
I'm trying to create an American Hefeweizen with this yeast, a cloudy hefeweizen without the banana, bubblegum and clove flavors normally present in German hefeweizens.
