Glad you will be open for a bit on the 28th. I need to stop in to get some stuff in case I brew in the next few days. Need to refill my barrel. Going to put the scotch ale in there. Do you have some WLP028 Edinburgh Ale Yeast?

You bet Matt--I have one vial of WLP028 left and have set it aside for you in the yeast fridge. Hope to see you today!

Kent, I got the last vial of WLP028. I am building it up for an 8 gallon batch which I will do over two starters. When are you brewing? I was going to do one starter, chill and decant. Then I will do my typical starter the night before I brew and pitch it at full krausen. I can refill the vial for you after my first step of the starter if you like. Let me know.

I have also had good luck with WLP007 for making scotch ales. I usually ad just a touch of peated malt when I don't use WLP028.
