Solution used for yeast storage...

Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:08 pm

What's the best solution to store yeast in?

If somebody knows the solution that White Labs uses, that would be awesome, but I haven't been able to find that info. I can't imagine that any alcohol content would be good for yeast storage, but I'm just beginning my efforts into yeast harvesting/storage...

I'm re-using White Labs viles right now, but have some nalgene bottles on order from US Plastics that I'll use for future yeast storage - any other suggestions?

Like bub says, any NAIL (north american industrial lager) will work just fine. Most of that stuff works much better for yeast storage than drinking anyway.

If your like me I tend to end up with a case or so every party. It took a long time to get rid of a bunch of mich ultra a few months ago but its better than pouring it down the drain (like I used to do once I got too much wasting space in the fridge).

I wonder what I can do with all these Smirnoff's ice rasberry that got left this weekend.... Targets?

Strangely enough I just heard JP make a joke in my head about taking them down to the local Junior High and having a party.

That was wierd.
