Question Propagate Labs experience?

A little new to homebrewing. Just been doing some Meads, Ciders, and Cysers. I wanted to explore Sake because its one of my favorites. I found reputable suppliers for the koji and rice variety (I think). The yeast is a different matter. I know i can just use wine yeast, but i wanted to try to use sake specific if I can. One of the few places I found that seems like a decent supplier is Propagate Labs. However, they dont have many reviews. Anyone use them to purchase yeast for brewing before?

I love Propagate.

Our HBC recently did a tour with Brittany at Propagate and she was an incredible host and answered a ton of our homebrewing questions. We frequently shop at Tom’s Brew shop and use Propagate yeast for our club beers.

If you ever have any questions I’d encourage you to give them a call. They almost always answer the phone and will get you any information you need.

I used some of their Brett strains back when I lived in Utah and would make trips into Denver. I wish I could get their stuff in Homebrew sized pitches. The last time I checked, their smallest pitches were for 1BBL batches, which I suppose I could split up and bank, but I'm afraid the shipping would cost me more than the pitch.
