Your Very Own BioReactor

For the experimentally minded, I just found this bio-reactor which should be good for experiments with tiny amounts of yeast:

Here's an experiment on the relation between temperature and baker's yeast growth rates using the device:

If you've got the space at home and the relatively small amount of spare cash, you can be all set!

Oh, cool that you found this bioreactor! It looks like it’s perfect for home experiments with yeast. It’s almost like having a mini lab at home!

I just knew that someone would have a reaction like that!
