Subject: What are you doing with your White Lab vials?
|
So I have saved up about 100 white labs vials. I have seen the "white
lab redemption" form on white labs.com where you can redem them for
yeast, glasses, boardgame, yada yada yada... but I was wondering if any
of you have found creative things to do with them!
I have used them in the past to harvest yeast from a primary, but that
is hardly creative. I understand that white labs (i'm sure) likes them
back to recycle them as it i'm sure costs them some money to have those
made...
WHAT DO YOU THINK???!!! What do you do with yours!!!

I doubt it costs them much at all, and they certainly aren't having them
"made" for White Labs. They are unblown plastic soda bottles.
I use them to give reclaimed yeast to friends. Only seems appropriate.

Maybe we could get a few people to pool there carriers and do the Bentley on
a time share program. So far I would own about 6.5 minutes per year. :-)

ROFL! You definitely need to drink more St. Arnolds!
Elissa is my downfall. In order to walk by a 6-pack sitting on a store
shelf, I have to invoke several incantations, some of which will definitely
end up bad for my home brew. (They attract witches, and witches, of
course, are responsible for HSA, doncha know.)

As long as it involves Saint Arnold's. I understand Brock is considering
expansion to Austin and DFW. Maybe a few more folks will get to enjoy some
most excellent brew. If we talk about it enough we might get Denny to start
longing for some Saint Arnold's Christmas Ale :-)

Wagner, you dog! You promised to expand into Bellville first! We *finally*
convinced the owner of a local package store to carry St. Arnold's. So
far, he has only brought in the Brown Ale, Amber Ale, and Krystal.

You mean like those 12 cases I've got stuffed in my cooler? I'll be lucky
if any are left after Oktoberfest. [BTW; If anyone actually *did* put

A very nice IPA!
Why not plan your trip to be in the Houston area on ober 7? I know of a
pretty good beer and BBQ party going on about 60 miles west of I-10 and
Beltway 8.

Strangely, I haven't made a Dixie cup in years. But for some reason, I have
been a regular at the Bluebonnet Brewoff for several years, even though
Dallas is much farther!

Hot side aeration - The phenomenon of beer staling prematurely because of
the introduction of oxygen while the wort temperature exceeds 80F, normally
pre-boil, such as during the mash or sparge. This can oxidize some
compounds in the wort, will not be affected by the boil, and can cause
flavor stability problems later, similar to the manner that "ordinary"
oxidation causes problems post-fermentation.
Don't worry about it too much (unless you have a coven of witches living
nearby). It is a real phenomenon, but is something you might want to put
near the bottom of the list of things to worry about. Worrying about it is
probably worse than the HSA itself! <grin >

Check with White labs, but last time I turned in my tubes for a free yeast
certificate, I just peeled off the label and sent them in an envelope. I
recycled the tubes with all my PET #1 bottles at the local recycling
center. I don't think they reuse the tubes.
Also, the tubes have survived my autoclave (20 min) if you take the cap
off and cover them with foil. I keep a few around like that to use for
trading yeast cults with friends.
