My yeast culture really stinks! What is the problem?

The TRAFO FAQ Page
You likely have a contamination problem. Carefully bleach your culture to destroy the contaminating bacteria or fungi and then check your medium stock bottle as well as the plate the inoculum was started from. You may find that the liquid medium was contaminated or your plate used to streak out your yeast strain contained contaminants. Check your other media bottles to determine if your problem is with the autoclave step of sterilization.

I am not supposed to eat yeast, yet it is in ThreeLac. Isn't this a problem?

ThreeLac Candida Yeast Infections Vaginal Infection Treatmen...
The yeast in ThreeLac is a refined brewer's yeast which is eaten by the bacteria in ThreeLac. It will not cause yeast to grow in your body. It is possible that you could be allergic to brewer's yeast or to the lemon juice powder, but this is very rare. Many customers who told us they are very sensitive to foods had no problem taking ThreeLac. If you can't eat anything acidic, then ThreeLac is not for you. Take Total Immune Booster instead. Not likely.

Does dry yeast really have to be rehydrated?

Bodensatz Brewing - Procedures FAQ
Well, to be absolutely literal, it doesn't "have" to be. But it certainly should be. It's all about general yeast health. It's tough enough for the little guys to be dried out and then rehydrated. That's an extreme shock to their systems. If you add a whopping pile of sugar during the rehydration process (by putting the yeast directly into the wort), you increase that system-shock quite dramatically.

Can you do a culture to find out what bacteria are causing the problem?

FAQ - Sinusitis - WS Tichenor M.D.
Unlike most infections ( for example a strep throat), where it is possible to determine the exact bacteria by doing a simple culture, it is not possible to simply take a culture from your nose to determine what the cause is of the sinus infections. The bacteria inside the nose which we could theoretically culture are not the same as the bacteria growing in the sinuses unless you have previously had sinus surgery.

Can I open and partially use an active-dried yeast culture and reuse the balance at a later date?

Scott Laboratories - Information Center - FAQ - Fermentation...

An open container also becomes a rich media for possible microbiological growth. It is recommended to close a container tightly immediately after opening. The balance should be used within a short period of time (1-2 weeks).

If I live in a small town, is smoke really a problem?

Burn Ban 2007 FAQ's
Smoke causes the same health problems no matter where you live. Sources of smoke may be different from place to place. Smoke can affect the lungs, sting the eyes, and worsen heart and lung disease. Sometimes it does. It depends on weather and geography. For example, if you live in a valley, smoke settles after sunset when cool air drops down from higher elevations. This cool, dense air carries smoke from outdoor fires and woodstoves, and accumulates near the valley bottom.

That’s 33 homicides involving guns per day, or a little more than one every forty-four minutes. And these figures do not include attempted homicides, of which there are, by some estimates, perhaps five to six times as many.
