Time to stock up on a few vials while I still can! I love those vials for storing rinsed yeast, etc.

Looks pretty cool.

The reason they use those "vials" is that they are purely and simply the PET blanks that get blown into various bottles like Coke. I can imagine the scenario early on in White Labs' career.

Hey Chris, wadda we going to pack the sheeeyut in - bottles or something, or sachets?

Hey I've got Cousin Hiram workin at that PET blanks place in Topeka and I've seen them little suckas, they even come with a cap already on. I'll get Hiram to pocket a few and I'll drive over during the holidays.

Legendary, Chris, sounds like the good sheeeyut, hey toss uz one of them Bud Lights. Chugalug.

Will this new process/packaging change the cost of your products?
No, the cost of our yeast cultures will remain the same for domestic and international retailers and customers. However, the new technology should allow us to provide more consistency in our pricing for years to come.
