Regarding the question about making a yeast bank.. The company I work for has a yeast expert who does all kinds of experimental work. He also had about 30 slants of various beer yeasts that were frozen. I can't give you info on how to get the yeast frozen for storage, but I can tell you that those slants will be basically worthless in about 5 years as the yeast will eventually die off. That's

bearded brewer,I like your site. Great topics and reviews. I've listed it on the blog links.I've started using organic pale malt and crystal 60L from my LHBS and find myself buying it more regularly. I'm impressed with the quality. It has a mild/smooth flavor. Also, the kernels are more round in shape and crush extremely well.I order from NB, and am envious of your local. I buy any specialty

Ted,I try use as much organic as possible. I live in Minneapolis so not far from Northern Brewer. They carry alot of organic grains, some hops and light malt extract which is nice. My blog is: beardedbrewing.blogspot.com if you want to check it out. I've got my recipes on there and including the organic recipies I've done.

bearded brewer,Thanks a lot. I try to keep things interesting around here. There are still a lot of things I need to try out. I have been using organic 2-row and Crystal 60L malts lately with great results. I believe it is Briess at my LHBS. It crushes very well, and has a smooth flavor. I like the way the kernels are more round in shape with a big pocket of white starch. We try to buy organic as

Ted,This is awesome! I'll be sure to hit this list up when workin' on my next recipe. I really should try some one gallon batches...Do you keep/grown/propagate your own yeast or do you buy a new one each time? I'm trying to reuse yeast cakes by racking fresh wort onto them. Saves money and allows me to tweak recipes the second time around. I'd like to start keeping multiple varieties on hand

Ted, I love your blog and your descriptions of your beers. I am trying out some 3 gallon experimental batches, but nothing as experimental. Great read! Do you do much organic?
