YG001 - Anyone used?

[bbohanon]

Just got a chance to order 4 vials of the infamous Conan yeast strain that yeast geek is offering for sale.

I plan on using this strain to attempt my first Heady Topper clone(based on the 4.0 recipe here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/heady-topper-can-you-clone-390082/)
Anyone here used this strain on a heady clone or in any other IPA batches and if so, what results are you seeing with it?

subbed.

Can I suggest that you modify the title to accommodate other Conan sources as well? I think this could be a helpful thread for future as these become more available and interest grows:

Yeast Bay's "Vermont Ale":

East Coast Yeast "ECY 29 - Northeast Ale":

Done!

I am in NC so getting heady is not easy. I figure I would try my hand at a decent clone of this one for friends and family to try as well as myself of course.
I DO know this yeast strain IS the single most important key for the clone to be as close as the real deal as possible.
Hopefully this will help others looking for this strain.
