It's the antithesis of the the Grail, sought by Brewers for generations searching for something that ferments out the big dark one. Now available at your local BrewLabs stockist. Terms and methodology applyIPA wrote:

Re: RIS Attenuation
I grabbed a few of these, thanks Ian.
It's stout season now "down under". I'll let you know how I go.
Really looking forward to using this yeast.

Re: RIS Attenuation
I am sure you wont be disappointed. Here is a brief history of how it arrived at Brewlab. I bought several bottles of Russian Stout in a pub near Brands Hatch racing circuit in about 1985. Moved to Southampton 1990. Moved to France 2000. Revived yeast in the last remaining bottle here in France in 2014. Sent sample to Brewlab 2015. Now it has arrived Down Under!wally wrote:I grabbed a few of these, thanks Ian.

If you are interested I can tell you how to save yeast very simply. Exactly how I did it with this yeast.
Good luck

Re: RIS Attenuation
It's available from Brewlab and I'm certain that the reference is J1. Ask Alison for Ian's (France) Courage Russian Stout yeast

I would be interested.

Re: RIS Attenuation
I would have thought that saving a yeast after it has done a mega beer like that is not really recommended as the yeast has being knackered after such a brew

The yeast was from a 35yr old bottle of Stout.
Please keep up!

Re: RIS Attenuation
I plan to do a RIS later in the year and this looks like it would be a good yeast except my LHBS doesn't stock Brewlab and I'm not sure where to get it.IPA wrote:It's available from Brewlab and I'm certain that the reference is J1.

I'm just here for the beer.

Re: RIS Attenuation
ote="Ian"]I have posted my method of re-using yeast before but this time I have added photos to make it clearer.goodolpete wrote:"If you are interested I can tell you how to save yeast very simply. Exactly how I did it with this yeast."
I would be interested.
36 Hours into the ferment I clear a space in the krausen and remove 500 ml to a sanitised plastic bottle.
I loosely fit the cap and let fermentation proceed normaly. when fermentation has halted I tighten the cap and store it in the fridge.
As you can see there is a nice clean deposit of yeast on the bottom of the bottle. The reason I leave it 36 hours before removing the fermenting beer is that I find you get a much cleaner yeast deposit.
When want to make my next starter I pour most of the beer into a glass for quality control purposes to make sure this is no infection. That is to say I drink it
I then swirl the remaining beer to dislodge the yeast and added it to my starter flask. 12 hours later it looks like this.
I have successfully re-used the same yeast for more than 18 months and more than 12 brews using this method.[/quote]
The only thing that I do differently now is that I use a large plastic syringe to remove the fermenting wort from below the krausen.
