Mr. Mcsuck:
Been waiting for someone 'in' yeast: I'm a retired chemist, have had bio, biochem. I can't get a straight answer to this from ANYONE, not even biologist at 'Why Yeast'. He recommended a $200 book to me.
Ala Palmer, we should cold-drop the starter yeast and NOT use the foul-tasting liquid. This is true: it tastes awful. So, doesn't it make sense that the same filthy-tasting liquid is being generated during the log phase of yeast growth in the wort? The yeast grow until oxygen is consumed and then they begin to ferment anaerobically. Right? Why not grow a huge starter(the yeast from a prior batch), and use as starter in an under-oxygenated wort???

A couple of points:
1) The standard answer to changing a fundamental process in an established method is "That's the way we have always done it." Maybe a little bit of the foul adds character to beer, if it is in small enough quantities. Perhaps the yeast metabolizes the yucky during anaerobic respiration.
2) As a chemist you should not be afraid to put the scientific method to a practical test through real-world experimentation. Do two half carboys -- one oxygenated with a standard yeast dose, and the other with the headspace purged with nitrogen gas and a superstarter.
When a scientist is confronted with a question that he is not being given an answer to, he devises a method to develop the answer himself. Happy 'sperimentin'

Evil German Scientist
Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz?
Close!
Did you name your brew kettle the "Beermakinator"?
Haven't picked a name yet but it would probably be "Brunhilde" or "Lieselotte" or such
Not sure if you have kids but my references are to a kid's cartoon on Disney Channel called "Phineas and Ferb". The evil scientist is Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and every one of his "evil inventions" has a name ending with "...inator".
Destructinator
Drillinator
Meltinator
Age Accelerator-inator
and so forth.
HA! I do have kids but one is 28 the other 2 months old. We have other shows to watch. I was already wondering if I'm missing something here

I am currently a stay at home mom while my husband is an accountant and student at ashford university online. I have been in and out of school for restaurant management, but I'm going to aim that to beer science so I can open a brewery restaurant instead of just a restaurant. I just have to wait for my kids to start school in a couple of years so I can go back.
