- New Yeast Strain Chart! Searchable and Sortable
Okay all, looking for some feedback! I realized over the past couple of years there have been a number of new yeast labs popping up with offerings to homebrewers Many of the current resources available online have not been updated to include the new yeast labs, and also seem to be lacking
- Comprehensive Guide to Yeast Storage and Starter Culture for . . .
The yeast should be incubated for about 24-36 hours, under continuous or periodic agitation, and your starter culture will be ready! But what about yeast storage, as mentioned earlier? In the lab where I work, a commonly used technique is the Castellani method (storing a piece of culture medium with water in a sealed glass tube)
- How Many Cells in a Yeast Slurry. Anyone Use This Method?
Brew 2 5 gallon batch, throw in the yeast Save the yeast cake in a quart jar, use about half in the next batch and reserve some of the wort to go back in the jar Next batch again pitch about half the saved yeast and add mort wort to the jar I have no idea how many billion yeast cells there are, but its been working for me
- Calculated Yeast Count vs. mL slurry from starter
Two things you'll have to watch out for when using slurry estimates is the percentage of non-yeast material in your slurry and the viability of your yeast The numbers I gave come from Wyeast, and they are directed towards yeast harvested from starters (so it accounts for anticipated levels of 'non-yeast material')
- Reusing yeast | Homebrew Talk - Beer, Wine, Mead, Cider Brewing . . .
If I wanted to reuse yeast every time I brew, I have heard that you don’t want to use the full cake for your next batch I originally was planning to ferment in a keg and reuse the same yeast without opening the keg between batches Now I’m wondering what the best option is
- Correctly Rehydrating Dry Yeast - Homebrew Talk
Correctly rehydrating dry yeast is important Yes, this adds a few steps to your brew day, but remember that it is the yeast and not the brewer who makes the beer How to Correctly Rehydrate Dry Yeast Here is how to rehydrate one packet or 11 5g of dry yeast You can scale the numbers accordingly to your quantities Things you need:
- How much yeast do you REALLY need? - Homebrew Talk
I've read all of these threads about how much yeast you need to pitch One of the links actually said you would need a 2 5 gallon starter for 5 gallons of beer (the point was that most people don't pitch enough yeast) Obviously, people get reasonable results with a single pkg of dry yeast or a tube of liquid yeast
- Fast Pitch Canned wort - can I just use my dry yeast?
The fast pitch canned wort is an instant yeast starter, which normally would be used with liquid yeast No need to boil or use DME As @mac_1103 stated, direct pitching the dry yeast may be all that you need to do, depending on what kit you have
