Is anyone still growing yeast?

#1 Post by Jdl973 » Tue Feb 02, 2016 7:07 pm

Hey everyone,

Is anyone out there in Brewer's land still growing yeast? I still have about 35 strains that are on slants in the freezer from six years ago. Most of my bugs have died out and I'm looking for a 10 µL loop or so of each to start propagating again.

I know there was some talk about starting a yeast bank, did that ever take off?


Thanks
Jason
