Just thought I'd post my 2nd place win in the Lallemand brewing school contest! 50 free packets of yeast! It's too bad they don't package their west coast yeast in 11g packets... Looks like I'll be using a lot of Nottingham for a while.

Thanks guys! It may be a question of how many people actually entered (I never win random draws), but hell, it was definitely worth my postage!

Congrats! What are the details of the comp (style, what did you brew.. where is your recipe)?

You should see if you can't get them to give you the west coast yeast in bulk (same amount as 50 packets) instead.. 50 packets of Notthingham sounds kinda boring compared to a west coast ale yeast.

It was a draw so contest of no skill haha. I can post the recipes I brewed in order to have the empty yeast packets to send in (1 entry per empty pack)...

I did ask about the west coast ale yeast and unfortunately they won't send me just a single 500g pack instead (I may try begging) but they did say by the end of spring the west coast ale yeast will be available in 11g packs.

Actually, I think I have convinced them to send a 500g pack of the west coast. Although if they're willing, I may wait until June when they've got the 11g packs. Saves me from vacuum sealing it all up/risking contamination.
