  • In this episode Peter and Logan discuss how Imperial Yeast grows their culture using next level sanitation and why it's not always the best idea for you to try at home. They explain common homebrewing myths like pitching yeast cold and that more cells equal better beer. Ultimately yeast are a living organism that we subject to a very stressful environment in our home brew so making sure that they are treated properly before they hit our wort is not only essential to making consistent, high quality beer but is also overlooked far to often.

    I wet well done here. I think the whole DIY chem lab/supply warehouse/gear engineering in the garage is pretty much exactly why Homebrew suppliers started drying up. A TON of brewers want to buy a thing once and manage it themselves instead of supporting the supply chain, then get upset when the place stops offering stuff or goes completely out of business.

      Genus Brewing I don’t know. I have to receive one first. I’ve been waiting for them to send me one since early Spring. I keep being told that one is getting shipped to me “this week” or “next week”, but nothing has arrived.

    I never smack my pack more than an hour before pitch. The pack will sit until room temp. Never a starter either. All my harvested yeast is kept in short mason jars and is refrigerated and re-pitched as needed. Always great attenuation. So many myths with yeast.

    My mentor at our home brew shop turned me away from washing yeast in favor of making larger starter than I need. Save the extra yeast, use it for the next starter, etc. Been working great. I love my yeasty pets.

    I don't think home brewers compare their yeast cultivation capabilities to professionals. I think home brewers do it primarily to save money and learn more about it. Informative video though!

      So I have never understood that... yeast isn't that expensive. Something like $6 for a pouch if I remember correctly? So buying new yeast is actually more economical, easier, and saves time if you're homebrewing for personal use. The only reason I can gather that harvesting yeast would be a good thing is if you are trying to brew in high volumes (thus money saving), but even then you introduce variability that is really tough to predict if you're trying to replicate a recipe.
