Wow... I can't believe I didn't see that before! I think I was making it way too complicated..That makes complete sense. Thank you all very much for your time!

I dont know if im still getting this so let me see if this works sorry for not fully getting it yet!... the baby soda bottles are 60 ml so 20% would be 12 ml of glycerine then i need to dillute to 10% so 12 ml of distilled water boil that So roughly 40% (24 ml) and then 50% (30 ml) yeast slurry...

Ohh I thought you were suppose to add the glycerin water an yeast all in one and just let it chill In the fridge but looks like you say to add in the glycerin after the fridge is that correct? Brewitt on your article it says you want to get it down to 10 % of your mixture just glycerin are just...

48 hours? That seems like a really long time. Is that so all the yeast goes to the bottom? Won't they have consumed all of the sugars by that point

So basically what I'm getting from all of this is that everything needs to be super santized (which I already do), have good clean samples from low OG beers so you dont stress out the yeast. It also sounds like oxygenation from a starter won't be a problem when freezing for long periods of time...

Well my yeast bank is in a styrofoam cooler which is in the freezer and all the yeast is surrounded by ice cubes in the cooler. I have all the tubes labeled also and dated. Does that sound good place to keep them?

Why would brand new yeast have more oxygen in it then rinsed/washed yeast? And if you froze it right afterward wouldnt that take care of any oxygen eating problems??

Hey Guys, So I have started a yeast bank using this forum http://www.beertools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5632&sid=5a9494fb9b06a234f07d5130a67474ff and used my (washed) yeast to create the samples in these tubes (http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/test-tubes?source=googleps They are...

Congrats on your success cape! Given me a lot of thinking to do! Would love to do this one day

English Northern Brown Ale using White labs WLP005 British Ale

I thought you were talking about the big orange 5 gallon home depot buckets that use for paint. Plus I have never seen Home Depot sell food grade buckets.

Its acutally 63 ambient temperature. I have 2 thick bath towels and a light beach towel wrapped around it. Thats good enough to ferment only right?

Do not use the buckets from Lowes or Home Depot! I repeat do not use the buckets from Lowes or Home Depot! They are not food grade buckets and therefore will leave hazardous materials into your beer (which you will then be drinking). Spend the money to get a food grade bucket that was actually...

I have not tried a heat belt.. does it use a lot of energy? and Its in a small closet right now and the active phase of fermentation is finishing up so its a little hard to move it at this point. The closet is right now at 62. Is that good for fermentation when the temp is suppose to be 65-75? i...

http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/test-tubes?source=googleps I use these they work amazingly

Hey guys I was wondering how everyone kept their fermentators at the correct temperature? I have a big ish house so its kind of expensive to heat up.. Heat Lamp I've tried but that also is expensive too. My fermentator is in a closet right now with about 3 towels wrapped around it. I live in So...

What about If I put on some braces at the bottom?

Well I cant really put concrete in the hole because it is in my vegetable garden where I'm growing other things.. I might be able to use the post hole digger to get it out if I work it a little bit more. But the area where I'm in doesn't get crazy winds maybe like 35 mph tops and nobody would be...
