I recency ordered my malolactic culture (a 25g sachet) ready for this years grape harvest & winemaking.

It was £10 the postage was £11. I commented on this and was told it has to be kept cool which increased the packaging cost - fair dues. Even with the packaging, it was cheaper than buying from abroad.

Imagine my surprize when this arrived today..

Wow that's impressive! Not often you can say it was worth the P&P but I'd have been happy with that

See the thing is now you have a neat little thermo bag....you can culture yeast for the rest of us and send it out...wow..

I can turn my hand to a lots of things but I can't culture that !!

That is pretty decent. Wot Ice man says too.....

But love those stones (sigh) why can't we get them here without having to take out a mortgage.....

I've saved the yeast from bottle beer in the past...infact I have 2 bottles of wheat beer in the fridge at the moment...I intend to harvest it and use it in the next GS wash.

I can cultivate yeast - been doing that for years.
This is a bacterium culture - waaay above my paygrade!

Yeee I know it's a different kettle of fish mate....yeast is way way easier.
