Sure, yeast can be frozen although for best results a Glycerin solution is usually used to help prevent the yeast cells from rupturing. You'll probably find that you will still have plenty of viable cells left anyway and a starter should fire up without too much delay.

yeah i knew about glyceryn, but from all other reports mostly peoples experiance was that the yeast cell walls had exploded and thus viable yeasts. oh well i might hang off ordering then (sorry Ross, lol).

will thraw the buggers out (well the ones that were in glass and havent exploded) and see if they fire up. fkn all i need before i start holidays and lots of brewing planned.

Just had the best sushi for lunch. Raw tuna, avocado, rolled in the rice without the seaweed wrapper, but with the black sesame seeds.
I squeezed those little soy sauce fishies hard on the tasty little buggers.

I want more.

Not a fan of wasabi at all. Love the pickled ginger but they don't give that out often.

Your food is full of poop.

I have a completely unrelated question though. Soldering copper. How important (in practice) is it to use flux?

Its just that I didn't know and didn't buy so I'll have to go back to buy some tomorrow if it is actually important enough. fwiw, I'm soldering the copper pipe (coil) from bunnings, need to solder some bits of my manifold.

PS: The staff at Bunnings is hopeless, granted I didn't do my research, but I asked for a soldering tip for a gas torch to solder copper pipe and they didn't have the sense to tell me its not fukin required!! could've saved me 35 bucks.

Anyone? Bueller?

How about using ascorbic acid with a bit of salt added in just like what is used to clean copper pennies etc? (again... google).
Or even good old undilkuted Starsan? Its phosphoric acid. That should prep the surface right?

Used a JBHifi xmas gift card on a pre-owned PS3 game, Battlefield - Bad Company 2.
Just fired it up then, and it asked for the latest update - 130min download time.
ARGH, I HATE THAT!

Then don't get DC Universe Online. The full game is now free to download and play on the PSN but it is a brutal download.

Copper to copper, as long as its clean, no worries - if you are using resin cored soft solder or silver braze.
Copper to anything else, you need the right flux.

Next time get your advice from a pluming supplies shop like Reece, Cooks or Plumbers supplies.
If your local Bunnings is anything like mine, the staff seem to be either running the clock out or otherwise um-employable.

Thanks Dave, it is copper to copper, and using solid core silver solder. A bit time poor to go to the proper shops these days. Doubt any are open after hours up here. Will solder with gutso now
