I've used those canned yeast starters a few times with great results. Only use them for higher abv beers though.

After babysitting my starter for entirely too long on Saturday, I just couldn't help but think "there has got to be a better way"
Added my first round of dry hops to my NEIPA yesterday. Love the color and aroma right now... Just when I thought everything was going great, I went to move it into my tool shed fridge/fermentation chamber, and its too heavy. Almost cracked the shelf in the fridge. Going to need to build some sort of wooden stand this weekend that I can keep in the fridge and put the carboy on... Also, went to put on the carboy cap that I bought to make a O2 free transfer, and this thing sucks. Its way too big. I'm going to have to tape it down or something.

If you are using a sterile siphon starter, then yes, you'll need a cap that fits snug. I don't think taping will work. You have to have a seal so the siphon can create a suction to drain into the keg.

I thought it was going to boil over the entire time

These cans o' wort are the way to go for a starter. The hassle and time savings are worth it to me. I keep a bunch of them on hand, so I'll always have one ready to go. And it's cheaper to buy them in bulk.

BTW, my bootleg biology yeast should be coming in today.

i thought you were sitting there watching it ferment. it really isnt too hard to mitigate boil overs with a flask. i can get a 3-4L batch of DME done pretty quick.

Not according to their website.

Yeah, I think for 5 gallon batches of ale, you'd probably only need two. I don't think they're an option for me though. For a 10 gallon batch of lager, I'd probably need 6 or more.

Well, I'm only doing 5 gallon batches, so it works for me. Your mileage may vary.

So what beers should i brew with these 2 new yeasts...
OSLO came to us when Eik & Tid generously gave me a bottle of their raw beer Brom. I got to hang with Amund & crew last year in Amsterdam during Carnivale Brett. Not only was the beer fantastic, but we were able to isolate one of the most unique yeasts I’ve ever come across.
We did our best to beat the hell out of OSLO, but it.would.not.make.bad.beer. Test ferments at 98F/37C produced a beer that tasted like a nice, cold-fermented lager! Truly a modern way to brew a farmhouse ale!
Unlike most other Norwegian farmhouse yeast, OSLO is a bottom-fermenting yeast closely related to S. pastorianus, S. uvarum & S. bayanus!
AURORA creates pleasant orange and citrus esters that perfectly complement beers with fruit-forward hops.
Homebrewers can stop worrying about temperature control. There’s no need to brew seasonally when you can let your beer rise up to 98F and have no noticeable off flavors!
For pro brewers who can’t turn around tanks fast enough, AURORA can get you into the brite tank in as little as three days when fermented hot.

They make different sizes for different carboys. The orange ones are for 5 gallon carboys. The ones for the 6.5 gallon carboys are maroon. For some odd reason, the 5 gal. carboys have a bigger mouth than the 6.5.

I'd say oktoberfest, but with how quickly it ferments, you can wait for the summer/fall release. Personally, i've been wanting to do a good crisp pilsner. I may wait for the fall release and get 2 packets, and do a pilsner and oktoberfest.

Well i'm saving one of teh 2 packs of Funk Weapon #2 for a 100% Brett NEIPA. The other will be used at bottling, or for a Brett/sach saison, that will be blended with 1 gallon of sour just before bottling.

I've heard you need to use a very fruity brett strain, thus the reason i'm going with FW #2. I've heard Brett Clausseni works well.

even the texture and haziness of the beer was completely different. I did a split batch, same brew, pitched different yeast. It was weird.

Well Brett produces different alcohols, I believe. I read up on it a while back on milk the funk wiki. I need to read up on it again. But a Brett fermented beer tends to have a dryer profile, if I’m correct.
