What a interesting lid. It reminds me of the mushroom culture jars for liquid cultures. You drill a hole and pop in one of those filters. Also you can just tape over 2-3 layers of micropore tape. Im going to try this at this week and see how it goes. Thanks for te inspiration.
I repitch my yeast, I like IPA so pretty much use the same yeast each time. When friends join the brewing community I always teach about re- using yeast in similar beers 😊
I do something similar. I call mine a "perpetual starter". 2L Erlenmeyer, make 1.5L of starter wort with the same 1:10 ratio of DME:H2O. Stir plate 48+ hours with yeast of choice (Kveiking at the moment), loosely covered with foil to allow oxygen. Pitch 1L into beer o the month. Retain 500ml in flask, put on sanitized cork with a standard airlock, store in kegerator. The flask will often continue fermenting longer than the main beer at lager temps, but go to sleep and settle before next month's brew day. Pour off the hooch and reverse pitch another 1L of cooled wort on the mini yeast cake. Advantages: no hop or malt flavors to wash out. Yeast never subjected to high ABV. Very little sanitation required as the yeast is gently active most of the time. Disadvantages: takes up a fair bit of room in the kegerator. Same strain for beer after beer. I am usually ready for a new strain before the yeast gets exhausted, I switch strains every 6 months or so, perhaps Darkness next?
No link yet, but I met with Homebrewer Labs yesterday. They will be posting it soon to their site, and I have a special discount coupon you can use (coming soon). Shoot me an email at brewmaster@benhambrewing.com, and I'll put you on the list to be notified with the coupon code once available. Thanks for your interest!

I’ve been repitching for almost 20 years. Don’t worry about what beer style you harvest the beer from - it won’t come through in the next beer. That said I’ve never poured new wort over the entire trüb/yeast cake.
Quite interesting. Found the channel looking for info on pressure brewing, worked great on ales and lagers not so much on a pilsner oh well it was an experiment. Keep up the good work.
I am admittedly not the sharpest goldfish in the bowl but where did you get the "Yeast Farmer" ? I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks you for the video. Additionally, how many times have you reused the same yeast and obtained good result? I usually stop at 3x, but not for any scientific reason. I just figure it is spent or warped by then. 🔬

The Yeast Farmer has not been posted to the internet yet... so you are correct... it cannot be found in google. Also, the same reason there is no link in the description to purchase... Homebrewer Labs has not posted it to their web store. Once they post it, I will add a link, and them I'm sure google will see it as well.

That's a great idea! let me know how it works! Also, can you microwave micropore tap?

Its not as scary as a lot of people think. Keep spreading the homebrewing gospel! We need more brewers in the hobby!

That is awesome, and a great idea! I might have to do another video and talk about doing a perpetual yeast starter like that! Great tips!
Interested in the yeast farmer and yeast washing. Thanks.
@JimFosterVO Second this request

Great point, and less stress when re-pitching with what you are doing! Thanks for the tip and comment!

Google cannot even find this lid on the internet so it must not be very popular. No link in your description either.
