Hello,
I live in Sweden, so have taken to brewing beer as it's SO expensive here! I have just finished reading Chris White & Jamil Zainasheffs great book on yeast, and want to culture up some yeast from some beers smuggled in from the UK.
My freezer's not suitable, or big enough for that matter, so want to store in the fridge. However, I cannot find mineral oil anywhere, so was wondering if I could store slants with glycerin instead?? I think the oil is to minimise the oxygen contact, and would think glycerin would do the same thing, but would like some expert advise first!
Thanks
Rob
