On Saturday I HAD to drink 3 bottles of this stuff in order to get enough yeast to try and revive.

My attempt failed!

I made a great little 1040 og starter from spraymalt and mount hood hops too.

By midday today there was no sign of reproduction or fermentation.

Does anyone have any experience of this yeast?

Cheers

Have you heard of Brewlab? They are based at Sunderland, link here.

They supply quite a few different yeast strains. I started a thread about it a while ago, here is the link.

the bottle is not a great environment to store yeast, they could be all dead, but more like is that the is a high percentage dead and you will need to give the a few day to get going again

Brewlab, aye

If I had the cash I'd be at one of their courses and then I'd be trying to get a job doing my hobby.

I've got some Whitelabs Burton Ale on order from hop and grape but I'm not sure when it'll get here. I'm going to try and keep that alive as long as possible.

The Brewlab stuff looks good, but I'm not sure I'm up to all that 'slant' business yet.

I've cultured this one up and brewed with it and it's a good yeast, I'm with oblivious on this one and you'll need to give it more time, there'll be a very small amount of viable yeast in a bottle so it'll take time. Keep stirring air into it too, yeast needs oxygen to reproduce.
