The Brew Plate Bulk Sleeves offer sleeves of 25 plates that allow the brewer to detect a wide scope of microbes known to cause contamination during the brewing process. Each plate provides sections with various media to detect common wild yeast, aerobic (lives with oxygen) and anaerobic bacteria (lives without oxygen). All of the plates that make up the kits offered are available for purchase in bulk sleeves. If contamination is detected, samples or plates can be sent to the Brew Plate Laboratory for microbial identification. Each bulk sleeve purchase comes with one free sequence identification.
Quadrant 1: Contains an antibiotic, Chloramphenicol, which prevents the growth of bacteria and selects for the growth of yeast.
Quadrant 2 contains an antifungal, Cycloheximide, which prevents the growth of yeast and selects for the growth of bacteria.
