Our own bugs!
Unlike most home brewers Keyrock (pictured) and I culture our own yeast a couple of days before we make a batch. We are planning to brew an IPA on Saturday. Just one of the many benefits of being a science dork!! Known to the scientific world as saccharomyces cerevisiae, and to us as Booze Bugs, this yeast has been extracted from our favourite microbrews.

Yep...I'm surfing through your blog at lunch:) I looked up your scientific name on the website I develop at work. Check it out if you want. More great information about Saccharomyces cerevisiae:)
