Description

💃🎉🎈 Happy 1 Year Anniversary Everyone!!!

With me is Alix Blease from Lallemand, this episode is targeted at brewers looking to repitch their yeast. 

We will cover everything from start to finish and by the end you should have the confidence, understanding and know-how to stop the dreaded pitch and ditch and start maximising the yeast you purchase. If you are already repitching your yeast, don’t drop out just yet, I am sure you will want to confirm that you are repitching your yeast correctly and that there might be a more efficient way to do it.
