Glad to hear someone on the west coast enjoys a NEIPA!
Oh yea! We have a lot love for those tasty brews out here.

Please do order another. I've been waiting a while to get another batch!
I've used this blend in both a simple saison (90% pilsner 10% wheat with sorachi ace at 60 and FO) and a very simple cider. I didn't get any of that intense apple juice flavor you're describing. In both cases I got a very pleasant funkiness that lent itself to the dryness of both batches. A lot of character but none of the fruitiness I've heard about with this strain. For the cider I let it ferment on the counter (so around 78F the whole time, it was summer). The saison started about 68F and I let it come up to about 78F by the 5th day. Although I think active fermentation was over long before that.
Hansen Yeast is back in the vault and only 34 more orders are needed before they release for production. I've got 2 on order and I hope these last 34 are sold within the next month so I can get them here for summer brewing!
Same here, I always overbuild but will likely get 10 beers out of 2 vials before I'm done. That's quite a savings too! I just hope it gets released before the weather is way warmer. After they get to their number, it'll still take many weeks for production and release.Only 29 left now. I've had 4 vials on order since 10/12/2017. :| Its a long time to wait... I did get some of it when it was on the Seasonal release last year. They took it off that release schedule this year though sadly...
I have to say that every IPA recipe I've used this yeast in turned a good beer into a great beer. I plan on overbuilding some starters to keep some of this on hand for a while. I'm a huge fan of the Hansen Ale yeast! Really wish it was produced regularly. But I guess it makes the beer more special when I can actually use it.
Just bought 2, only 26 to go.
I think it's at least as good as many other yeasts that are available all year long. I'd like to see this as a regular but if they can't sell 250 in 6 months, maybe they won't.24 now.. WOO-HOO! Keep it up HBT, lets release the Hansen Ale Yeast from the vault!!! Its worth it, seriously!

Why is it called Hansen yeast?
not sure - why don't you send an email to the white labs customer support? I am sure they have a good answer for you.Why is it called Hansen yeast?
You won't be sorry. I have 2 and may order 2 more. I actually have recipes 'on hold' waiting for this yeast.I already had one on order, but went ahead and got 2 more to try and speed this up
Edit:
Accidentally double ordered, so I guess I have 5 coming now. Hope I like it
I agree, it all seems a far fetch right now. Not enough interest perhaps? 2017??? Wow, that's a long wait.The Vault does need some changes... The order I placed on 10-12-2017 is finally in production but that's waayyy too long to wait. And to top it off, they only ship USPS and are charging me $12 to ship 4 vials that will be warm (hopefully not hot) when I get them. (Cali to Texas via mail..) I asked for a different shipping option but they said no-go. :|
got an email saying that they are flushing the vault again, all vault stains go into production july 1. order what you want no waiting.
Also a hint that the vault might be changing.
Our strains are breaking out of the VaultMind posting the text of this email? I didn't get it and I don't see the info anywhere on their site or social media.
