[THC] Anyone have a yeast cake?

[Thomas Hess]

I have four of them that you can have.

But I suggest a different approach. Different yeast strains have 
different alcohol tolerances. 19% is probably too high for most 
strains. Get a yeast that has been bred for high alcohol. Try 
Superstart Distillers Yeast. The URL is for Northern Brewer, but 
Anita might have it at Great Fermentations.
