Stock-n-Store: Cryogenic Storage Vials for Stocking Your Cultures

Take your cultured food (liquid portion if possible), or store-bought cultured product, add equal parts to the cryogenic vial (0.5ml/500ul) and freeze. Remove and add to your next fermentation - cultures 1 gallon or more (but we recommend using two vials the first time as cultures/ fermentation temperatures/ times vary)

Each kit contains:

• "X" number of cryovials* (containing 500uL FG glycerol solution**)
• Sterile swabs
• Sterile plastic pipets
• Foam storage rack

* 2ml vials - sterile, stand-able, o-ringed, write-able area for labeling, and graduated for easy measuring

** Food-grade (FG) glycerol solution - 50% FG glycerol/phosphate-buffered saline (PBS); does not allow ice crystal formation and allows long-term frozen storage limiting die-off 

Extend your fermentations by the gallons by stocking your own starters - AND SAVE!

Yogurt example... at a typical 5.3 oz. yogurt cup found in stores, each of your stocked vials would culture 1 gallon (maybe more) of milk, giving you between 20 and 24 cups of yogurt. (assuming a live and active culture at time of storage)... that's $0.17-$0.20 per cup at our lowest purchase offering! (after initial make and cost of milk, of course) 

Food-grade formulation inhibits ice crystal formation during freezing, extending your culture's viability and making possible long-term storage down to extremely low temperatures (<-80C). 

Make one batch of your favorite fermentation, portion off with our Store-n-Stock kits, freeze to store.
