I have some wyeast forbidden fruit yeast that I collected from a blue moon clone and a ginger peach wheat beer i made a while back. i have about 10 jars and will probably get rid of them as i dont plan on making a wheat beer anytime soon and they are taking up room in my fridge (and the fiancee is starting to yell).
wyeast is pretty expensive so you will probably save about $20 for a 10 gallon batch if you use these.
will give them away but i will need the mason jars replaced (some are 500mL and others are 1L i think) and maybe a beer from one of your current batches
need to get rid of them ASAP
