Canadian Eh!L Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hey Gang, The kids got into the brew fridge the other day. Luckily they can't pry off crown seals yet![roll] What they did do was turn the temperature way down and froze most of my rinsed yeast. What do you think? Still good to go?[crying] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 no, freezing yeast will rupture the cell membrane. if it was frozen solid, ditch it. Yob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamB8 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bloody hell mate [crying] At least you wont have to worry about contamination in the yeast bank now, the rugrats have made sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 just as a side to these woes. Yeast 'can be' frozen, but needs to be treated special for it. Glycol etc. Personally I (currently) think it's too much work on a homebrew scale, I prefer to rinse and re-use and or step up on a stirplate. I have been meaning to do some freezing as an experiment.. maybe you should send the kids over for a weekend [lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 maybe you should send the kids over for a weekend [lol] You'd have to be crazy if you think I'd be sending my kids over to you're brewery!!![crying] You'd never forgive me. They'd have a guy like you bound and gagged within minutes! [bandit] [innocent] [joyful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
