Someone give mine a call and say my time saved with a braumeister and a mill will equal time and money savings for a simple capital outlay!!!

 

[MartinOC]

You're on your own there, mate! $20 for PP yeast tubes, or $4.5K for a Braumeister.....

Good Luck!

You're about 2k off but the point was made

Now to get me some vials

 

[mofox1]

I have a box full of these: http://www.madaboutscience.com.au/store/jumbo-test-tubes-50ml-centrifuge-tube-p-431.html

Made from polypropylene which can be autoclaved. Would be happy to part with a dozen or so if anyone's interested?

Cheers, a bit far away for me in the eastern 'burbs bit I'm sure will be useful for someone more local.

Okay - who snapped up my ebay tubes?!

Heh. You'd be suprised.

I cut the top of my thumb wide open trying to make a wooden "wrench" (~2" notch in some 2x4) to screw in a 1" pipe nut, because:
a) I didn't have a big enough spanner/adjustable pliers
b ) I was drunk
c) It was late at night (so bunnings wasn't open, also couldn't drive due to b )
d) I thought it was a good idea (very much due to b ).

It's actually really hard to peel an orange when you can't use even one of your opposable digits. I figure the worst I can do here is lick the frozen yeast tubes and get it stuck to my tongue...

I'll read up on the yeast freezing threads and post q's there if needed.
