Yeast Growth kit

[Shane Phelan]

A few people have been asking me for stuff that would help them brew up yeast from slants. Particularly where they only have one slant and just want to take a "scoop" of yeast from it to grow up. This requires particularly small glassware which would have been a nightmare to arrange separately. As a result I have made up a little kit of useful items that would help brewers at the extremely low yeast concentrations they are likely to be working at. All this glassware can handle autoclave temperatures.

The kit contains

1 * 05ml Volumetric Flask
1 * 10ml Volumetric Flask
1 * 25ml Volumetric Flask
1 * 50ml Volumetric Flask
2 * 50ml Conical Flasks
2 * 10ml Pyrex Beakers

€10/kit  ( I have at least 10 of these)

Have you got, like, ten of these kits, or is this the only one?

What size batch would you ferment with this culture kit - 5gal or as much as 10gal (the keg theft topic is elsewhere).

I will have one please.

I updated the OP with the numbers. The idea is you step up with this Kit. Its really focusing on the low end as people already have the large conicals.

So you go something like this depending on your own preferences/timescale. The additional sizes give a bit of flexibility.

Scoop (<1ml) -> 5ml -> 25ml -> 250ml -> 2L (Allow a week for the steps, roughly)

Hi. I can get off you at tasting on 28th if that suits you.?

[johnrm]

@Shiny, I'll be up for the Exam on the 8th.

Thanks

Yup that is perfect lads, giving these out at meets/BJCP meets is ideal.
