Remedial math teacher
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???
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.
