I looking for some ideas on storing yeast between batches. I'm currently storing yeast in the cone of my fementers and simply transfering yeast from cone to cone, just guessing on the amount of yeast that gets transfered(I haven't had any problems with doing this). I just read David Sohigian's paper "Practical Yeast Managemnet in the Brewpub" on the ABG's website and he talked about modifing a corney keg with a flexible 1/2 line down through the lid with a valve on top. Has any one used this? I have used the modified sankey kegs and they work good for large batches, but it's hard if not impossible to weigh the amount of yeast being used. I'm making 15 bbl. batches. The one thing I want to do is be able to weigh the amount of yeast I'm pitching, trying to get a little more consistancy. I don't feel safe using buckets but I will consider buckets if a couple of people out there say they've tried it with success. I think the modified corney kegs are the cleanest way to go right now, but I'd like to hear from others on this subject. Thanks, Scott
