Whoa...simmer down mate. I'm not trying to disrespect anyone, and I never said I had a differing opinion. In fact I agree with almost all of what Wolfy has to say. I just disagree with the rhetoric in some of his statements; namely that yeast growth calculations are "virtually all guesswork with...
As far as reproduction is concerned, all strains of yeast behave the same way, they reproduce via budding. This means that if the same number of viable cells from two different strains of yeast are placed in identical environments which are conducive to reproduction, they will both produce...
Youve never made a starter and counted the yeast cells to compare the actual numbers to your calculated numbers, or the calculations from any other source?
I'm curious Wolfy, why do you think yeast calculators like Mr. Malty are "virtually all guesswork with a large amount of error"
Do you have any kind of data to back up this claim?
Thank you for bringing that to my attention don. I was making some modifications to the app last night, and apparently changed some parameters that should not have been changed.
I've repaired the damage, should be back to normal. Thanks again.
I agree wholeheartedly with your statement, that without actually counting individual yeast cells, there is no way to know precisely how many cells are present in a given sample.
However, in the context of yeast propagation, most of the variables involved in cell growth are controllable; the...
You no longer need travel into the future, just click the checkbox, and type in your viability.
Been meaning to do this for a long time, thanks for putting a fire under my ass. ;)
I learned something tonight, logic problems and homebrews do not mix well.
Even so, I think I've got it working properly now. Please let me know if there are any more bugs, I'm going to pour myself another pint :beer:
Nevermind, I can't get it up on my laptop either, it must not have posted to the server correctly. I'm in class right now, but I'll try to get it working when I get home in a few hours.
