not to get peoples hopes up but I spoke with Brett this weekend and he said he thinks the NCM account will be set up this week.

that is what he explained to me. I placed a small order to tide me over.

Why do I have the feeling you are serious?

Im basically out.

I don't know bout y'all but Im hoping this is a 12 pallet round. I get the feeling there is a lot of pent up demand out there.

Well I didn't know anything about it till I read "First Setps In Yeast Culture." It is a very easy read with lots of pictures.

Perhaps for some or most. But I will save 6 vials of a yeast this way each time I buy a new yeast ensuring that I never need to repurchase that strain. I have now archived 5 strains and will archive 3 more. I enjoy doing it as an extension of my hobby. The next thing will be plating in auger...

Hey if anyone is interrested, I would highly recommend pierre rajot "first steps in yeast culture." With a small investment in twist on cap testubes an inoculating loop and a large pressure cooker you can save pure yeast samples in pure sugar water for years and years. Its a great way to...

That all makes sense I guess. Thanks for clearing that up. I usually just dump 1/4 of my yeast slurry straight from the bucket into a sanitized mason jar and throw it into the fridge for a future brew. I make a starter from this to wake it up. My airlocks are usually bubbling in 6 to 12...

The anticipation is killing me.

Why is it necessary to wash it?

I liked this post but if I may I'd like to like it again.

If you did a good job of keeping the cold break out of the fermenter I bet it's almost entirely yeast.

What I want to know is why is it necessary to wash the yeast. I get that you are trying to separate the trub but why. I mean what difference does it make if some gets into the next beer. What I do, (on a 20 gallon batch) is I take 1 of my bucket fermenters - after racking the beer into the...

ya especially if the holes are pointing up. OUCH!

I have successfully stored yeast for over a year in a pure sugar solution. 90 grams water 10 grams white table sugar. put 20 mils in a autoclaved testtube and inocculate with 1 loop of a clean known to be pure yeast source, like a fresh vial of whitlabs. so far 100 percent success with...

that is exactally like mine except mine coiled from the center out. I even flattened the end to seal it off.

without a picture I cant be sure but I had great success with a 3/8 copper coil I made. It sounds like we have built a very similar contraption. I had a straight piece coming down through a board that bridged the top of my MT and then and elbow at the bottom and then the coil went from the...

I keep checking my email. Nothing. At 2 am, ill wake up for my nightly constitutional and check it again. I feel like a group buy junkie. I gotta get my fix man.
