First time harvesting yeast from Oberon bottles, issues?

How do you make a 10ml starter?

I asked that same question...Then I just figured I'd make a normal size starter, take 15ml's out of it, store the rest until I'm ready to step up, boil it again for sanitation purposes...repeat.

Great idea! Thanks!

Well, the second time was a charm on this one.

I took the guidance here and started with a 15ml starter, then went to 150ml and then to a 1.5L and was much more diligent about sanitation. I successfully harvested and grew this baby from a single bottle of Oberon leftovers! I popped in the fridge in the flask for about a week until I could get time to brew.

I brewed it yesterday, pitched and had bubble activity within two hours.
