- Y3 = (823, -1065) seal at 1600
- Y99, Y58 = (4592 922) seal point not yet known and Y3 likely to be nearby as appeared after a microbe. - Searching for a Y99 with Y3 or Y42 combo for VP Cherry

Summary?
If you like this, Losiris, keep it. If not, junk it.
Just thought I would take the data from this page and summarize it
for folks drifting through looking for information. (I have my own worksheet
pages, so I know what this is like...)

Multiple Yeast locations
List shows cumulative yeasts as the seal time gets later.
- no seal - you can still get a good beer from it without sealing the kettle.
