Had some sculpin, live oak liberation, hb black ipa, and sour cider. Its been another rough day. Not talking about work

I can relate to the rough day at work. After 12 hours of staring at ladder logic, I get to do it all over again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next, and the next...

Really good brewery, they have several new things coming up.

Yes, liked most of their stuff that I tasted. I also got some Bean Flicker, Oh Me So Hoppy To Wheat You, and Citra Wheat Ale.

I wasnt talking about work. Work was fine today. Just a lot of crap going on.

Bet there aren't many people in Louisiana that are enjoying Pliny and Sculpin in the same night

I have yet to see the sculpin cans yet

Thanks man. Its alright. No worries. Just dont know im complaining on here. I usually do not do that. Just a lot on my mind. Hope you job gets better like a lot of people here

Eh, my job will be better in a few months or so. Once this furnace is installed. Gotta finish the control system though. Lots of bugs.

Hitting the sack. I hate leaving The Godfather in mid-movie, but I have the box set. Now I will have to have a marathon!
 
Imperial awesomeness red. . . just kicked the keg :(

Fortunately, I have another 5 gal in glass, and a Hef ready to go online for the weekend : )
 
More Torpedo. I'm going to bed peeps! I have to be up at 7:00 for the DHS inspection, then driving to get my nephews (1 1/2 hours, each way), then have a nap for work at 1:00 Wednesday morning. It's gonna be an extremely long day...
 
Had a shift from hell at work on top of having to come back for next in about 7 hours. As a nightcap I smashed a lager from Sudwerks (local German bewery), tank 7 and capped off with a last sculpin all interspersed with some shots of Jameson. Cheers

Coffee. It time to go to work. Then I get to bottle my hefe, and transfer my Oktoberfest. I just sterilized a bunch of jars to harvest the yeasty beasties as well. Is this enough? I like to have extras in case I need them. I ended up with 6 full jars of 2308 after my bock, and I'm expecting no less from my Oktoberfest.

My question to you, or other people that wash yeast. Why?

Isn't it easier/more beneficial to build up a larger starter and take your smaller cleaner sample of healthy fresh unstresed yeast right from the starter before pitching? I mean the yeast is a whole generation younger prior to pitch, and a whole lot less stressed.

Also what do you need with 6 jars of the same yeast when 1 young jar will provide you with as many fresh generations as you will ever need?

I'm not getting on your case I just don't understand why so many people practice yeast washing in the way that they do. Trying to figure it out.

Usually I think its to save money as well as build a yeast bank. 6 Jars i think is over kill but when I washed yeast a couple of times i got about 2 jars. They are usually not too stress and usually ready to go to another round of fighting. That is what the pro's do. They move the yeast cake to fermenter to fermenter up to 10X (generations) or when its starting to mutate. I believe its more of a money saver or to trade yeast with a friend
 
Coffee. Before I get in my big brown truck to deliver a bunch of boxes to the public. I have a couple homebrewers on my route.


And a lot of QVC Queens.
