I got three slants atm, but I'm going to streak out the two fresh ones (one is a used Ringwood) with the Saison yeast I got coming from hopdawgs.

There's no more WY1968 in the library?

Im not sure what ever happened to the 1968 yeast, I thought is was streaked out but I could never find the slants. I dont even have a streak plate left over, its a mystery. Im not sure what I did with that yeast.

Thomas - What should we do with the slant tubes? I assume we should clean out the agar. Heat it, scrape it... ? Did you need tubes back right away, or is next meeting ok?

I started the Wyeast 1214 tonight... my first slant starter... fingers crossed.

Glad you are using the library. Just rinse it out with soap and water, and return the tube and lid when convenient, preferably either at a meeting or when you go to pick up another slant.

I've used arbitrary glassware sanitised with iodophor before; seemed to work.
