Special Procedures

-Yeast built up from frozen sample of WY2112. The frozen sample was thawed and the clear liquid discarded. The remaining yeast was added to a 500ml starter and fermented for 2 days. Then, the yeast cake was added to another 500ml starter. Finally, the yeast was added to a 2000ml starter. At completion, this cake was slightly less than a smack pack fermented out in a 2000ml starter.
