Every time I open a vial of White Labs yeast, I get a vigorous expulsion of stuff from the vial. I finally learned to expect this, and so I StarSan the vial before pitching now.
This is fine when I'm pitching into a bucket -- there's a nice wide target to hit . But last night I pitched into an Erlenmeyer flask, and the entire mess didn't make it in. Grrr...
Is there a secret to opening these eff'ing vials? I need to shake them at least a bit in order to get everything into suspension before opening the vial, but that just makes the explosion that much more vigorous.
Or is it just me?
Thanks!
