I just want to bitch about idiots and my beer
That being said I tried to explain yeast washing to a buddy now he tells people I grow my own strain of yeast

I guess there's some sort of truth in that... whitelabs(or whoever) went around and gathered most of those yeast strains up, cultured them, and put their label on it. So you keeping them alive is sort of the same thing.

And it will mutate over time, if you keep the same colony going. Single-celled organisms can evolve significant changes in a shockingly short amount of time.

So if you maintain the same colony, then yeah, I'd say it's "your own yeast" after maybe a dozen generations tops.

What would happen if you mixed 2 yeasts together in a flask. Would they just battle it out and kill one, or would you essentially have both yeasts fermenting your beer.

7th grade biology class tells me that you wouldn't get a hybrid. Millions of years of evolution produced them. 2 hours in a flask isn't going to make a hybrid yeast. Or am I completely wrong, and it would?

I'd imagine you'd have dead yeast and weak yeast leftover. Anyone ever do this, or research it? (googling now...)

I see what ur saying but Im pretty sure he thinks I'm doing some super scientific ****

I get odd looks all the time when brewing out on my driveway. I keep waiting for the cops to show up. I really wonder if people are that stupid to think anyone would do anything illegal like making moonshine or meth right out in the driveway for all to see.

 

[unionrdr]

I think it's entirely possible. Question is,how many generations will it take? I wouldn't think that many. But then,you'd have to experiment to see what temps they like,& what flavors they give off at different temps. I think it's worth a shot.

I get that same kind of look sometimes when people find out I grow my own hops and harvest yeast from bottles. You gotta be clean, but I sweat some of them think that I'm doing gene splicing or something... :cross:

New neighbours on one side asked if we were having a party since I was making such a huge pot of soup!

Neighbor on the other side asked if that was a keg fridge I was building for my homebrew. After replying that it was, he promptly asked for a key to the garage!

I was just wondering this recently myself, as I have a belgian strong I am going to make, and I have a vial of whitelabs trappist and a smack pack of high gravity trappist. I was planning on using them both. I would think that the yeasts will both go about their separate jobs in their own separate ways and not interfere with eachother. Ill have to do more research

I think the best answer to the suspicious "What are you doing?" questions would be to give them a slightly angry, moderately crazy look at say "Oh... you'll find out... you'll find out soon enough!" and walk away giggling.

But beer brings me closer to Godallahboddhistavashivvaflyingspaghettimonster, though.

I did this exact thing with a Belgian Strong Dark and it fermented out fine. Won a gold medal when it was 4-5 months old.

(OT) Buggar! I was too late for the good parts of this thread!!

(On topic to save deletion) Beer!!

Page 3 of this thread is now pure hilarity.

it wasnt that off topic; and it did primarily relate to different religious organizations beliefs about beer. there's nothing wrong with a little learning along the way as long as there is no disrespect....just saying. (respectfully)

 

[olllllo]

Most of the deletions were from guilt by association. None of us really has the time to be editors of this "grand journal". If it ain't about beer, it probably got axed. The more BS we let go in the technical threads the more likely we get a political/religious debate.

The next debate is the inevitable, "If this was deleted, why wasn't that?"

Answer: Life is unfair. I wish I could live for a million years so I could give each and every post the attention it deserves. Actually, that's a lie. I'd just brew and drink a million times more beer.

So unless we're premium members, we can't get into the debate. No wonder you have a problem with derp leaking out into the technical sections.

And nobody answered my multiple yeast question. And yes I did search.

Ahh, gotcha. Thanks

I'm a little ways away from experimenting with this, but it'd be cool to test on a previous recipe. (For comparison purposes)

Well for me I'm only starting out in this stuff so I ain't going to spend extra on being a premium member.... Guess I won't be able to talk about God, Pres Obama or any other subjects like that even if it is relative to my wine making. Sometimes it is needed to bring out those things because they need to be talked about when it involves beliefs and freedoms.

Isn't that why we have this ?

I should think it'd take more than a couple hours. Things like this usually take several generations to accomplish. Makes me wonder just how fast a given number of yeast cells reproduce an entire new generation?
Then it might be possible to predict when the mutation is likely to occur. It has to be possible,given the number of different yeasts we have today. The hard part,it seems,would be to create one that hasn't been already.
