Brewing Yeast Myths ft Imperial: Why The Pros Are Better...

[@digirapa]

Sitting down waiting for the wort to boil and you see a new genus video. How awesome is that!

[@GenusBrewing]

Great timing!

[@clivebrooker1]

What do the Imperial Guys have to say about yeast starters, and if they approve do they have a recommended yeast starter recipe/regime? Cheers.

[@ChuckUnderFire]

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.

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.

[@BEERNBBQBYLARRY]

Yeast have it made. If I could "eat myself" (4:10), I'd never leave the house.

[@GenusBrewing]

Heard you might be getting a Brewie to try out!? When can I expect that vid!? :)

[@BEERNBBQBYLARRY]

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.

[@GenusBrewing]

Dang them! Well it looks cool - so hopefully you get it soon!

[@southernstacker7315]

How did the old day dudes get like the Norwegian Farm house yeast?

[@fdk7014]

I only use dry yeast. It stays good for years so I don't have to worry that I have to use it soon.

[@petercatto9795]

Thank you guys it was lovely what about re pitching your yeast

[@GenusBrewing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

8:26 That pun was like an onion. It had layers and made me cry.

[@scottgoebel4671]

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.

[@DrHansBrewery]

Thanks for the link guys, cheers!

[@GenusBrewing]

Absolutely! Cheers :)

[@scratchcratch]

Yet another awesome episode! Great job guys.

[@GenusBrewing]

Thanks!

[@jkroosz]

How does harvesting yeast from the starter affect it?

[@Evan-mh7it]

Where do you guys get those plastic kegs from? Working on setting up a small brewery and wanted to look into them as we would rather not invest in a keg cleaner if possible

[@GenusBrewing]

I get them from Pioneer, although I don't believe they are the only source of them. They are made by Dolium.

[@Evan-mh7it]

You guys rock thanks

I'm a new novice so this was very helpful and amusing ;) - thanks guys.

Great content. More like this, please!

[@GenusBrewing]

Thanks! We plan to :)

[@ryanmcauliffe5347]

Should have listened to the home brew guy. I bought the "cheaper". But this is great info. Next time I go, I'm for sure going to give imperial a try. Problem is I bought for 3 recipes. So it might be a bit. Good stuff guys love the content!

[@GenusBrewing]

when you get around to it let us know how you like em!

[@syke512]

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!

[@GenusBrewing]

Glad you found the video informative!

[@ModernGameChangers]

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.

[@Sternerd]

I'll continue to let the smart people do the yeast wrangling, and I'll stick to just appreciating the hard work it does for me.

[@LaakeaYoshida]

I love this channel. But I have to say, I’ve been harvesting and washing my yeast for years and have made incredible beers from it, so..... I’m a home brewer, man. Everything I do is a hope it turns out science experiment. LOL

[@cabe_bedlam]

The number of ways to stress yeast, I almost feel bad for the little guys!

[@GenusBrewing]

They make us beautiful alcohol and this is how we repay them!?

[@gunder3]

they would say that because they want you to buy their yeast.

Sorry had too much beer rehydrating
