Just a quick bump on this topic. Is it safe to assume that this will ship in the new pouches rather than the old vials? Really should not make much difference since it will arrive as fresh as I can get it here in SE Indiana, now to just plan a strategy to put it to good use and find the brewing time. My schedule (tentative) has some double brew days coming up full of lagers, all 3.5 gallon batches including Pils, Ken's N German Pils, Jon's Dort, a bock, a pils from Marshall, and a vienna. Just gotta get it all organized to make it work for all of them in some sort of succesion
