I've gone with the ever creative labeling scheme of "A" and "B." Don't judge me.

I'm intrigued by this, but am wondering the mechanics behind measuring out 1/3 of a dry yeast pack. Do you eyeball it? Do you weigh it? Do you worry about infections?

I know when I place my order it will be filled quickly and accurately. If i have an issue i can connect with a live person. They seem loyal to me, I’ll reciprocate. I brew small batches so I’m not worried about some other vendor being 2 cents cheaper on base malts. NB used to do all that and I...

I'm a former NB customer who got tired of their crap, switched to MoreBeer, and couldn't be happier. At this point I don't know why I'd shift my loyalty back regardless of their ownership status. But that's just me.

Somewhat off-topic yet somewhat related, what is the proper procedure for storing 1/2 to 3/4 of an opened yeast sachet?

Try one of these ;-)

I started out using a large, stainless steel washer and that worked well enough. These sous vide magnets are like 100x heavier. Both will easily pull the bag down and keep it in place.

Get yourself a set of these. I use them for dry hopping in the muslin bag technique and they work wonders. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PC97YHL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
