I have a packet of 1056 in the fridge. It's a few months old, you will want to do a starter.

I have a package of 1056 that I never opened and is pushing a year old which would probably be a lost cause for you. You are welcome to have it for free if you want to try it. I also have Wyeast 1968 and 1098 available. They have been repitched about 4 times each so I have some slurry you could use of those if you would like. I would recommend the 1098 as it attenuates more than the 1968. I pitch it at 66F and keep it there for the first few days which keeps the english fruitiness in check.

You win. Can I come by tonight and get it? Probably would be around 8:30?

Yep. I'll be home. I'll smack it over lunch for you.

I have a fresh pouch of US-05 if you need it. You might also check at Benz as they have a good selection of dry yeast. Their brewing supplies are getting better.
