That'll teach me to vote for Ozzy! Ok, I'm not helpful, it's true.
No hurry on the holy grail, just send it whenever you have the rest of the yeast ready to go. Keep me posted on what you find, though. Did I send you some ECY02 slurry? I just dumped a ton of it down the drain, but that was from a 1.092 beer and the 2nd or 3rd gen so probably not in very good shape. On the straight brett stuff, yes, just banking and looking at to see how dirty I am. The small vial (I think) should have three different brett strains.
Did I tell you I think some guys from my club are going to hook me up with some more stir plates, maybe a microscope, possibly a hood as well as other lab gear?
Thats fantastic, get yourself a little lab set up!
I honestly don't remember exactly what you sent me, I know the small vial was a brett blend, I don't recall which ones. I'm balancing too many plates right now to keep numbers and letters straight.
So far from what I've plated, I've only noticed a tiny bit of stuff that shouldn't have been there, one of which was a sacc strain in a brett plate, but I imagine most brewers have a fair amount of sacc floating around their kitchen.
what kind of scope? I mean I know beggers cant be choosers, but I'm curious about these things.
Also, when storing plates of yeast, you do know to store them upside down right? Keeps the condensation from dripping down onto your samples.
With the holy grail do you want the sacc separated from the lacto? I mean obviously that can be done but if its just the 2 things there, I think it would make more sense to keep them together because any change in environment will cause them to act differently, and the ratio is crucial as Im sure you know, because the original strain was a blend correct?
To stay on topic, Im drinking coffee with a splash of whiskey fighting this cold with grandpas medicine.
