Hi,
I was just wondering what a good substitution dried yeast to use for this recipe, as I can't get the k97 from the brew shop I get my grain etc. from
Cheers

Wiz, I am not sure of a good substitution and I know it is hard to get in Australia.

The Jovial Monk in South Australia has it though. See here.

I am thinking of ordering 3 or 4 packs from him and, as it is a quaffer, saving the yeast slurry to do quite a few of the brews.

Cheers!

Yeah that sounds like a good idea.
I looked up the fermentis website and they only have it listed under craft brewing, which I believe means it is only distributed in 500g packs. So I guess that means homebrew shops have to buy bulk and re-package, which, by the looks of it, Ross @ Craftbrewer does.
So as you say it may be a case of buying a couple of packs and harvesting the yeast.
Cheers
