I'm gonna try culture some pacman yeast from a bottle or 2 of dead guy ale. Can someone do that slanting malarkey to share it out? I can bring the jar of yeast to the September meeting (providing I can culture it of course) but if that's any use
I'm culturing up same yeast off some shakespeare stout and I intend to do same.
I was chatting to shane saying I have to get started with it.
I'd love a little lesson if anyone reckons they're advanced in it.
Do you know of anywhere to get a load of sterile vials for the job?
I got vials on Shiny's last conical group buy. I have everything I need except a suitable pressure cooker.
I did not know those vials we got from Shiny would hold up in a microwave. :)
Anyone gonna do this?
Anyone want to slant the conan yeast too?
I have some spare vials Shane.

My pacman yeast is just building up. Probably do a brew on Sunday with it and make slants off the yeast cake or even second generation. I presume it would be in peak condition by then.
20-30 not sure. I also have pipette and pump etc. I have agar and nutrient agar also. I had intended to yeast farm at one point before I took a hiatus due to err my hiatus hernia.

20 plastic test tubes, 5 glass vials. Innoculating loop, agar, pipettes and pump.

Hi Eoin.
Are you selling the slanting gear or could you send me in the right direction for a good deal?
I hadn't really intended to, but If I do it will have to go over the for sale forum anyway. Anything else can be messy and is against rules. Are you around Dublin?

This is stuff I've assembled over time, so no tips on a good deal.

Ah yeah no probs.
Not looking to take your gear on you.
Just wondering if there's any good spots to pick up a few sterilised vials is all.
Are you interested in the whole lot Alex? I have three types of agar, but only about 100g in total.

Well I'd need the whole kit really.
Going to start ASAP.
Conan yeast is on the way and it has given me the kick I need.
Hoping to get funky in the gaff too and start stocking Brett too.
Ok Alex I'll put it in for sale, I've decided I need to declutter a bit. I'll also be putting some other stuff up.

If I need a slant of some cool stuff in the future I'll hit you up.

Would be cool if we could arrange a means of providing media or cultures within the club.
A yeast library would be cool.

Anyone got a cryogenic system? Will?

I thought that was the idea behind the yeast subsection but it hasn't really happened

I'm hoping Shiny will do another group buy on vials soon! ;)
Sent from my brain using my fingers
The thought did occur to me. :P

Well it's more of a swap shop than a library. A - 80c freezer and some glycol is beyond most homebrew setups. Might be an interesting project for a club.

-80c is that right? I have it in my head as correct but it seems too low.
