Erock, I'd be really interested to hear how your beer turns out, or if you've pulled any samples to date. I was planning on brewing a hybrid beer on my 5 gallon to grow up yeast for a 1/2 bbl helles, then a 1/2 bbl maibock. Was planning on using 2206 or 830, but would be real interested in this as an alternative for this run of beers. Tia
