Not eating Marmite is the path of yeast resistance.
Wild yeasties are all happy this morning and ready for the brew day! Hive came from my bee hive (comb, honey and bees). GrandDad came from juniper berries my wife snagged at Granddad's Bluff in LaCrosse, WI. The unlabeled is my 'abbey' culture that originally I caught from my neighbor's raw honey back in 2013.
I'll be brewing a Honey Tripel (thanks to all who voted in the poll!) for the abbey, and Saison for the two new recruits.

Cobwebs in the poundhouse ( apple processing area) . Leave them alone they hold spores of the wild yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae which ferment the juice. Each pound house has its own unique flora that live there on the cobwebs press cloths etc. Contrary to popular belief only scanty yeats are found on the freshly picked apples. #cider #yeast #poundhouse

I spent the day running experiments with yeast (S. pombe) instead of sitting in front of a computer
I wondered how much yeast (S. cerevisiae) is in this cloudy IPA, looks like way more than I used in my lab today
Tangy, hoppy, and bitter, lots of precipitation, with 9.0% ABV, but I didn’t feel so much alcohol
We had their restaurant in our town, but they recently closed it. But I found their beer on the same street
I'm saving it, but it won't go into the drawer. It will be this week's reading.

This has been a bit of a battle, lesson learned - look after the yeast. After some TLC and pitching fresh yeast, things are looking up.
A few S. pombe strains don’t flocculate
My favorite mutant doesn’t seem to be great for brewing beer
My research doesn’t have anything to do with brewing, though
