Yeast

Made the first of many yeast starters today for this project.

Yes, White Labs has a great array of products, however, $5 apiece adds up, and the brew store is about a 20 minute drive away. So the plan is to have a collection of yeasts cultured up from beers that I drink and from beers that I've made already.

I picked up the White Labs Brett / Lambic the other day, but then realized that I probably need to start fermentation with something else and then pitch that into secondary with the pomegranate. So I cultured the yeast from both an Achel Bruin and an Oude Geuze lambic for future use. To do this I mixed 1/8 cup of DME with 10 fl oz of water for a calculated OG of 1.025 and then pitched the dregs.
