SUCCESS - Wherry kit with different yeast

As per this thread:

I used some real brewers yeast in a Wherry kit. I made it to 1.045, and after 48 hours it was down to 1.015, and now it'w down to 1.012.

I've never heard of such a fast fermentation, but the yeast I used had been skimmed from a brewers batch about 1 hour earlier, that's what I call a Flying Starter!!! It had spewed through the airlock and generally gone mental for 48 hours.

Think I'll wait another day, check the FG and keg it. Can't wait!

Well done. My Wherry kit took 11 days and only just touched 1014, that was after pitching 2 Safale S04 yeasts too. Been in the keg a week and already tastes nice.
