So, I’m looking to brew some smaller comparison batches; ones where I do everything the same, but use two different koji, or two different yeasts.
I’m having a bit of difficulty finding any yeasts other than WY#9 and WL#7.
Ditto for prepared koji that isn’t Cold Mountain or Homebrewsake.com.
I’ve tried my local Asian markets, and a few specialty brewer supplies locally, but to no avail. Anyone know of other online vendors that can offer selections OTHER than whats listed above?
ps- I know I can/should just make my own koji, but I just don’t have the time and space for it right now.
in march i hope to have some prepared Akita Konno koji for sale. until then i just have the koji-kin.

Then I’ll get back to you in March for my koji tests.
Any suggestions for yeasts? Our lovely hosts here has #7

and #9

. I was REALLY hoping to find low foam in either variety, but if I can’t I may try champagne
and/or something else.
