Setting up a yeast lab?

[Bassman2003]

They are made of polypropylene which has a melting point of 266-340F. I ran them at 15 PSI in the pressure cooker (250F) and they were fine.

OK, thought I'd misread the description. Thanks much.

Regardless of McMullens opinion, freezing 5mL yeast in 10 or 15 mL vials and building up starters from that does work pretty well for a ton of people. If you’re worried about mutations you can pitch half the vial so about 2 to 3 mL of yeast in a smaller weaker starter and build it up from that. It’s not much more work then over building a starter and putting the extra in the refrigerator. If you want to get more fancy, a centrifuge is only 50 or $60 nowadays.

Not sure how they helps, in any respect, but whatever rocks your boat. I ain’t in it.

Is 50 too many? Bonus: color-coded caps!

Not if I corner the market on strains. I'm taking them, then heading to Antarctica. Muwahahahaha.
