Hi everybody, 1st post on forum and i think here its the best place to put my thoughts.

Here in EU is not possible to get gm strains. A friend of mine will stay on Quebec a few weeks in January and im looking for homebrewers suppliers to ship omega yeast 402-404-405 and phantasm powder there.
I only found one supplier, morebeer, but shipping fees are close to 100$ for 6 yeast packs, a bit expensive from my pov.

Somebody can suggest another supplier with new thiolized omega yeast that ships to Canada?

Thanks in advance.

Escarpment Yeast lab in based in Canada so shipping might be less costly?

i got an email a bit ago that a certain bioengineered(?) omega yeast was just recently cleared for sale in canada, but cant remember if its a thiolized one or not

also Thiol Libre – Escarpment Labs

yeah, they do have some thiol yeast, but funny warning: don’t use pilsner malt? lol

That’s because most thiol precursors come from malt. For maximum thiols it’s recommended to use a flavorful craft malt.

Actually, the way it’s worded in the description, it sounds like Pilsner malt may increase the likelihood of the production of phenolic compounds during fermentation. From the FAQ:

[quote]UPDATE, APRIL 2022: Based on user feedback, we do not recommend using North American Pilsner malts with Thiol Libre as this increases risk of undesirable phenolics. We have had excellent results with North American pale malts as well as English base malts.
