Is it wrong?

Post #1 made 14 years ago
by thughes
I brew with a mix of liquid yeasts and dry yeasts, depending upon what I'm making. I just finished up bottling a Vienna/Styrian SMaSH fermented with Safale S-04 which I do not save because it's only a couple dollars a pack. As I was cleaning out my fermenter (a 3 gallon Better Bottle) by rinsing it out and dumping down the toilet so I don't plug up the sink trap, I was overcome with a sense of melancholy......for I was unceremoniously dumping those poor yeasties down the crapper! Those guys were still alive and more than happy to convert additional wort into beer for my drinking pleasure had I given them another chance to do so. :dunno:

So, is it wrong for me to feel sad dispatching those poor little fellows without some type of proper burial or is it time for Todd to stop brewing and get a real life? :scratch:

Good Day, the Yeasty's are employees, They can work day after day.
My Yeasty's are Contract employees, hired for one job, one batch, normally one week, that's the contract! I have thought about keeping them on payroll, but there are so many unemployed yeatsy's, I hire a new crew every batch!!

I think I can speak for my fellow Yeasty's and say that we live for brewing and would gladly die for brewing.

I brew a light beer (color wise)Kölsch? with fresh yeast. I reuse the yeast for a more robust beer. Finally a Hop bomb or a coffee stout. Three beers that can (cover up?)the previous beer. You must figure out the yeast - style match first. I just reuse the yeast cake as long as there is not a lot of hop material, hot break or krausen. I don't wash yeast because that is work! Three batches is enough for a packet of US04.
tap 1 Raspberry wine
tap 2 Bourbon Barrel Porter
tap 3 Czech Pilsner
tap 4 Triple IPA 11% ABV
Pipeline: Mulled Cider 10% ABV
