Has anyone used this company? I've ordered from them and their product is actually pretty cool. They have a line lactic producing yeasts, and the flavor on them is pretty awesome. The one downside is if you dont live in there area, shipping is crazy expensive. The yeast itself is only 10 bucks a vial, but to ship where I live was live 40-50 bucks. I think its because they expedite it, and ship in those cold foam boxes, but holy crap. I'm gonna have to find a way to make it last. Anyway, I just thought I'd let everyone know about them. Maybe one day they'll be big enough to get a shipping contract or something, and we can do cheaper shipping like the other bigger companies. If you live in their area, which I think is Michigan, you should give them a try. If you live somewhere else, their worth a try, but beware of shipping costs. Also, I ordered four vials because shipping is about the same for 1 as it is for 4. Another note, I decided to place a second order, because my two other lactic yeasts I think got contaminated, so I think some of these might take a little extra care when storing and propping up. I'm usually pretty good with sanitation, but I might have overlooked something with my last batch. I did a split batch and they tasted great, but when I tried to reuse the yeasts, I couldn't get the same lactic production as the first time. So, I'll be a bit more cautious next time around. Anyways, give them a shot. Wildpitchyeast.com
