Just had a junk food/beer party with Dawn and Rita and Edmund. Great times! Going to brew a Dunkelweizen next, and came up with a pretty nifty yeast system. YX got these 2 large sterile bottles for me, which I added a malt agar and cultured yeast on. What happened was that the yeast slowly ate up the malt agar, dissolving it in the process and ended up forming a layer of very concentrated liquid yeast. I added some 10 mls of sterile wort into it before pouring out the yeast to make a starter, which is now happily fermenting away. I've left the agar bottle out for the yeast to grow again, and hopefully this cycle can continue indefinitely as long as there is agar left and if it does not get contaminated.
