I just finished rereading the great posts here by the Raines Man on Yeast propagation and maintenance. SWEET. Thanks Rainey. It made my day.
Having just ordered an All-American 21-1/2-Quart presure cooker from Amazon, will be set up for real yeast ranching. I will now be able to make up a big batch of DME starter wort for some stir plate madness yeast starters. Now that is going to be extra nice.
