"ll i can think of right nowI have read pierre rajotes book on yeast a few times. His main interest is yeast propogation. Although i have the equipment, i am actually afraid to try to do it.
The thing that i supose we all get from any reading or experience is that after choosing a proper yeast, sanitization is absolutely necessary. My last7 gallons of irish whiskey wash proved that.
The other thing that i think all books stress is slow fermentation to avoid stressing the yeast and producing off flavors.
Thats all that comes to mind except that a cup of coffee would be nice right now."

For yeast culturing you need everything to be sterilized, not just sanitized. In hydrated form the yeast is far more susceptible to contamination, and that would then be carried over to each batch.

I dont think that one exists. I know a pressire cooker will do it but i need toys.
