Title: Anyone want a packet of agar?

I don't make yeast slants so it's free to a good home.

And for whoever does take up Shane's offer there is a great article on Richie's blog about slanting for the beginner:

And also a quick post on the spoils:

It is also my intention when creating slants in the future to be able to make a few from every liquid yeast I buy before pitching. So that I have a better chance of a pure culture taking then when using the next generation after fermentation.
