You've been hearing us talk about Imperial yeast for a while now, and that's because we absolutely love this stuff.

With 200 billion cells in each Pitchrite pouch, we rarely even need to make starters these days.

Unfortunately, not everybody has the access to Imperial yeast, those of us out here on the West Coast do,

But either way, I was intent on coming up with ways to reduce my per-batch price and seeing

as yeast is typically the most expensive ingredient used in brewing. That's where I focused most.

You're listening to the Bruloscopy podcast. I'm your host, Marshall Schott. And in this experience

episode, I'm joined by contributor Andy Carter to discuss our experiences with harvesting and

reusing yeast. Well, it's interesting about reusing yeast as it's commonplace. It's part and

parcel of running a professional brewery. It's actually the opposite for many home brewers. Oh,

I'll just buy a pack of USO5. I won't worry about it. Yeah. So I think there's a lot of really good
