Yeast Culturing Supplies
§
Intermediate Yeast Master
Includes all the glassware and supplies necessary to culture and store yeast. You will need a pressure cooker to make up malt agar for plates and slants.
Save money — Become a yeast farmer! Yeast Culturing (propagation) supplies are used to grow and store yeast long term on agar-filled plates (shorter term storage) and slants (longer term storage). You can then repeatedly take living yeast from the agar-filled plates and build-up your own yeast starters. It is more time consuming than buying yeast but it is an interesting extension of our hobby and can save you money in the long run. Our two different Yeast Master packages at left are a great way to get started. If you would like more information, we strongly suggest doing some reading. You can find our selection of yeast books on pg. 76 & 77.
Includes: 1000ml flask • Alcohol lamp • Pack of 25 sterile plastic plates • Five borosiliicate glass slant tubes • Inoculation needle • Agar • DME • and First Steps In Yeast Culturing. Y601.......................................................................$69.00

A) Fermentap Magnetic Stir Plate
A yeast starter is used to increase yeast cell counts. The starter, consisting of water, DME, and yeast nu nutrient is boiled and cooled and then the yeast (most commonly a White Labs tube of yeast) is added. After 24–48 hours the yeast have consumed the food and multiplied. For reasons why you would want to do a starter and simple directions on how to make one read the MoreTips! column “Add lots of Yeast" on pg. 33.
Peel-away wax pencil for writing yeast information on Erlenmyer flasks and other glassware. Works great on glass carboys as well. Y435.........................................................................$1.75
D) Disposable Inoculation Loop
Made from borosilicate-type glass, these flasks can be transferred directly from heat to ice and will not crack like normal glass.
Stopper Size
Stir plates will increase cell counts in yeast starters through continual aereation. A teflon-coated stir bar rotates in the flask to create a vortex. This keeps the yeast in suspension and provides them with large amounts of oxygen. Leave the starter on the stir plate for the duration of the starter. The stir bar can be boiled with the starter to sanitize. We strongly recommend using our Sanitary Filter, FIL90 (See pg. 58 for more info), to keep incoming air sterile. Our Fermentap stir plate will fit up to a 2000 ml flask and features a pH probe holder, an on/off switch as well as a speed control dial, and a screw-in fuse in the back. Standard 110V power. 1 year warranty. Y705 (Stir Plate)................................................. $69.95
