pic of starter from old yeast

[jangelj]

Well, I had som WLP800 in my fridge that I washed back in August. It looked a little brown, but smelled like beer when I opened the jar. I pitched onto 1 liter starter and less than 24 hours later had this (see pic).

I wasn't sure how 7 month old yeast would fare, but looks good to me! Gonna step it up and brew in a couple of days.

Please don't laugh at my homemade stirplate. It works great. Old computer fan screwed to a cheap tupperware with a hole cut out of it. Hey, it works!

why would we laugh at a virtually free stir plate.. beats the hell out of spending 80 bucks on one... as long as it gets that wort moving good enough in my book.

I like snowmen!

Not only are the snowmen shaking for the cause, but they are upside down. What troopers they are.

No friggin' doubt! In fact, I'd like to request a DIY with picture tutorial - I have a ton of old computer parts, including fans!

OMG, look at that stirplate.....haha hahaha. Just kidding, I think my kids have those same tupperwares. Now I'm mad I blew money on that stupid Radio Shack box.

really happy with how this yeast took off after sitting in the fridge for 7 months.
I chilled the 1 liter starter overnight, decanted and pitched onto 2 liter starter. what a (good) mess.
