Hi HBT,
Not sure if this post is acceptable material for this specific forum, but since I think it adds value to the brewing process by virtue of giving brewers more options with the yeast they use, I thought I would share.
For the last 8 months, I have been isolating and characterizing yeast and bacteria, and sharing the progress on Reddit as user "Biobrewer", same as on HBT. If you're interested, check out my submission history at www.reddit.com/user/Biobrewer/submitted/ and look through all of the past updates, including the most recent. Several people have encouraged me to share here, as they thought this community (which many Redditors are a part of) would be equally excited about what I have been doing, if not more.
About 5 or so months ago I decided to form a company called The Yeast Bay to make these strains I have been isolating available to the homebrewing and craft brewing communities. In short, things are going very well. We almost have our contract finalized with White Labs to do the contract manufacture of the yeast and bacteria, we are in the process of legally forming our company, have finished up final evaluation of all the strains we will be launching with and are expected to be going live with product to sell to both craft breweries and home brewers by the end of October. To be clear, e focus primarily on rare and commercially unavailable strains of yeast and bacteria.
Feel free to check us out at www.theyeastbay.com and join our subscriber list to get updates on our progress, launch and available product.
I plan on doing some extensive advertising on HBT once our logo is finalized, and am looking forward to helping the community access new yeast strains to provide the drinkers of their beers (brewers included!) with new sensory experiences.
Cheers!
