I am about to delve into the world of slanting yeast, because it sounds fun, and because saving money is fun.
Have a couple questions:
Thanks!
Have a couple questions:
- I have a bunch of expired yeast on its way, can I use it to slant? Should I make a starter first and slant from that? It was a great deal, so I am OK with not slanting from it, but there are some impossible to get strains in there too.
- I make cider often, apple or cranberry, and would like to use some white labs cider yeast for this. It is very important that it be gluten free, so do you think I can use watered-down cider instead of wort in the slant tubes? I know I can make starters that way to build it up from the slant.
- Basically the combo of the above two questions...can I use cider in a slant with expired cider yeast? Too much risk?
Thanks!
