Basic yeast culture for homebrewing is a bit more complicated these days as I'm no longer a bench scientist working in the lab. Gone are the days of autoclaving media at work and being able to archive strains in the ultra-low freezer for years on end. I've had to make do at home with surplus glassware I've collected over the years and my backpacking stove doubling as a Bunsen burner. For now I'll be keeping my two main brewing strains on agar tube slants in the frig for short term use and backup vials in the chest freezer for long term storage.
