Lawrence Brewers Guild

I got to thinking this weekend after reading the recommended recipes (of course I read the belgian strong ale and dopplebock first...), there will be a lot of big yeast starters needed. What if someone volunteered to start propogating for these recipes (one volunteer per style) to yield several quarts or gallons of active starters in time for Big Brew? Either the club or the users can reimburse the cost. Cost per batch would go way down and pitching rates would go way up.
Feedback? Volunteers?

I think it's a swell idea. Here are the recipes for those that haven't seen em...

I have a stir plate and a 2l flask available, but almost no experience in using them to prop yeast. And I know that I won't have much time over the next two months with BBQ season starting.

I think i might have this one covered , except the belg strong. We should talk @ the meeting.....cheers

I can prop yeast if needed and coaxed. BTW I have a semi young imperial pils for the meeting.

Lets bring up at the meeting as a new business item. We'll try to get feedback on how many want to participate.
