Jurassic Beer (well Jurassic Yeast At Least)

[rendo]

Hey Fellas, some fun friday night reading, might have been covered here in AHB before??

A scientist extracted 45mil year old yeast from a lebanese weevil stuck in amber!!! Then, OF COURSE, he made beer with it...

See story at this link: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/24/jurassic_park_beer/

Rendo!

And we worry about leaving yeastcake in the fridge for a few weeks.
