  • @aikidojoe1 Room temp is better.

  • how can you store the yeast if you dont use it right away?

  • Yeast is best kept in the fridge before use.

  • what happens if you use the wrong yeast with the wrong type of beer??

  • You still get beer - maybe good beer, but it may be a different character than the "style."

  • You generally try to keep most yeast to under 5 generations...of course that is no hard or fast rule.

    This holds true even for wild bugs and brett.

  • Good video!

  • You overpitched. Use 1/8 of the final volume of leftover yeast, and try to use a cross-section of the profile. Go maximum 8 repitchings.
