Yeast Container Bulk Buy

[SJW]

Thanks OZBREWER, just PM me for payment details, I will do a direct deposit straight into your account if it suits or post a cheque.

As for the sterile water issue, I have just added some cooled boiled water to the slurry, after raking, and put in 250ml bottles. After that has settled down I decant off the clear and add some more cooled boilded water. I have made a starter up from one of these, no probs., so I am not to fussed with the serile water issue, but thats just me. Yeast appears to be pretty tough stuff.

yeah it is pretty easy to work with


I have found with slurry the best thing to do is wash it....Chiller did a post here someware on the how to, but do a google on yeast washing, its pretty easy to do, and you get rid of the trub and crap

the price is looking good at 0.30c each plus postage to me, the cheeper ones are not clear and melt in a autoclave, so probably will do the same in a pressure cooker...

any more for any more,
if we get less then the 1500 the price increase in just silly, nearly 50cents each,

any of you out of staters need some tubes??????

Hi guys just thought I would let you know of this mob in Queensland I found today, they call themselves Prositech and have a wide range of stuff.

http://www.proscitech.com.au/catalogue/get_frames.htm?l9.asp

They seem to deal in small lots as well I just ordered 50x 50ml sterile Centrifuge tubes for $37.00 delivered (theres a $10 delivery charge on orders under $200).
They say they can be autoclaved also.


Cheers

If you place your tubes in deep boiling water (ie almost completely submerged) for 20-30 mins it will be just as effective as pressure for 10 mins.

Do you have some references to back that up? I was led to believe that some things (uncommon or not) survive boiling temperatures but are killed by pressure cooker conditions.

Sos,
Yep there plent of bugs that will survive boiling temps, those that have a spore forming vegetative state such as Chlostridium species (botulism tetanus). None of these organisms will grow in water or the presence of oxygen. The presence of alcohol also kills them. It is certainly a problem if you are "canning" your wort.
So you really only need to kill the bugs that are going to cause you a problem.
You don't pressure cook your you beer do you?
If you have a pressure cooker then use it. If you don't boiled cooled water would just as effective to store yeast
Something I never see mentioned though is that for the pressure to be effective the lids on the tubes/bottles must be loose otherwise the pressurised steam will not enter the tube

I thought the subject of this thread was "Yeast Container Bulk Buy". I guess I need new glasses or something as everytime I check back to see how many people interested in this bulk buy all I read is how to boil or not to boil and read about the life cycle of a germ.

Is the bulk buy still going ahead? How many is Darren buying?

I dont' care if u end up getting a better deal elsewhere or not, but I would not like to go bigger than a 50ml vial. And I guess most people would be the same. Just my 2c worth.
