Hi all I've just received my first bought liquid yeast, a vial of White Labs WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish Ale Yeast. I'm extatic. I had to share.

Go ahead and transfer !

It is not necessary to first inoculate on Petri dishes. You can go ahead with the tube slants.

How long until it gets carbonated the way you like it? I wasn't patient long enough to let it fully carbonate. Too damn good.:)

Is it necessary to add DME to a yeast starter made from frozen yeast if I'll be using it for hard cider? Will it not alter the taste? Thank you

For how long have you let the 250 ml starter sit, before pitching it in the 1 L starter? Ty

Again, I'm filing a request forwarded to the honorable members of this gentelmen's forum. Is anyone willing to help me in buying the glass vials for me? I shall pay upfront vials+shipment. Thank you.

I've stumbled upon a great website useful for the average Joe yeast grower. http://everythingmushrooms.com They have everything from pyrex tubes to DME and pressure cookers. Again totally useless to me as the shipping fees to my country are $50.:mad:

We shouldn't. I like it how "pressure cookerable" sounds. :)

I know. I'm just saying I don't like the term "autoclavable" used for the pressure cooker. I used to work with autoclaves back in uni. and they're nothing alike. :) .

$22.95 + $3 insurance Too much for me. I think I'll buy 30 pcs. off ebay.

Thanks for the reply but I've already searched on ebay. No US seller will ship overseas and no European seller has the vials I need, only 2 dram which are too small. I've found a Chinese seller, but I don't think the tubes he's selling are heat resistant (I don't like the term autoclavable as my...

I can't seem to find anyone in my country to sell me glass vials in small quantities, only at least 100 pcs. and up and at an astronomic price, $400 for 100 20 ml/6 dram tubes. I'm willing to pay you guys upfront for the glass vials and shipping, through paypal or check. Will you help me? My...

Hi all I'd like to start yeast slanting, should I find any glass vials with screw caps in my s h i t'o'country.:mad: Can Dextrose be used as for yeasts' nutrition instead of DME in the growth medium? Glucose, Dextrose (D-Glucose) is the yeasties beasties growth nutriment of choice so I think...

What type of sugar did you use for priming? Fermentable I suppose, otherwise your bottles would not have been carbonated. Didn't you have any bottle bombs after that? Did you pasteurize any batch? What was your O.G. and the F.G. before 1st racking? Greets. p.s. This will be is my next...

Has anyone ever used dextrose for priming together with maltodextrin, which is used for giving cider body and mouth-feel? Should I stick to the priming calculators' directions and add the required dextrose quantity and the same amount of maltodextrine? Or a dext:maltodex = 1:2 ratio? I'm...

None that I know of. You can buy them online, some cheap, depends where you do your shopping. Search ebay and homebrewing shops.

Yeast Calculator - http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html About the sugar addition, it's wise to have the starting sugar gravity (you'll need a hydrometer/saccharometer) somewhere around 1055-1060. So add sugar in small amounts and do consequent several readings until you're there. You can...
