the agar media is in packets and the names/directions have worn off of them so I dont know the manufacturer or amounts. my media is all in one .. only add water and autoclave and you are good to go. Right now I am working on a yeast strain known as Pacman. it is used by the Rouge brewery . for beers like
dead guy ale. I received a slant from another member of the northern brewer forum. I made an all grain small batch (3/4 gallon) today to use as a starter for my next beer. I also am building up a yeast bank of several types of yeasts .. like Belgium wheat, American wheat , east coast ale , CA ale , english ale and Irish ale beer yeasts. Those are my favorites. I hope to have many varieties over time.
then when I want to brew a batch of beer I will start a plate on agar then use that to step up the yeasts in wort to grow enough for pitching into my beer. This Saturday is National Homebrew day
I am either going to brew two beers on Sat. or one tomorrow (cream ale) and then another on saturday (IPAor IIPA). I only brew all grain .. how about you ? are you brewing this Sat.?
