Well, I guess the expired tube of yeast I used with the RYPA was a non-issue.

Geez, this was a two month expired tube of White Labs California Ale yeast 001, looks to be doing just fine. Actually, I have never seen this yeast blow-up like in this picture, normally it is a much more mellow yeast. I wonder if the rye would have anything to do with it…?

I also just realized that I am basically maxed out right now. I have four beers in secondary fermenters and one beer in primary (still one empty carboy), and I used my last carboy stopper with the RYPA. So technically I could still brew one more and just not put a stopper in the top of the carboy, use a blow-off tube or something. But hopefully I’ll have two or three of the batches bottles by the 13th of January which should be the next brew day with my brother doing the long anticipated Uncle Tupelo Honey Stout, which would be ready in time for St. Patrick’s Day (already!). We’ll see …
