I got the idea a while back about brewing a IPL, but it seemed kind of of a gimmick the more I thought about it. The idea of a super clean IPA was appealing, but it could also be done with an ale yeast. So I forgot about. Later, after brewing my favorite beer, a German Pils, I had the idea of...

Over the years getting liquid yeast shipped to me was often hit or miss. Shipping in the winter, you risk freezing. I found yeast in my mailbox at -10F (-23C) frozen solid. I have had yeast shipped in the summer months, only to find it was DOA. I have stored yeast, but it doesn't always last...
