The Cultures Studio, and using the tools in anger¶

The other side of the hobby is maintaining my yeast bank. Again, in an attempt to document the process, I realised AI could really help with the initial analysis, the planning and the record keeping. So the Cultures Studio took shape shortly after the first ingredient skill.
Fair Isle Tove¶

The Cultures Studio is pulling its weight. I am currently working with Fair Isle Tove, and the skill is keeping me in check. These dregs are putting up a fight and I am not sure I will succeed, but the skill does seem to be helping.
Using them in anger¶
Not everything has been a skill. There is an app for the microscope camera, WildCam. And of course there is Bug Dodger, the only brewing game where you test your lambic fundamentals knowledge.
The issue so far is that I keep coming up with ideas, and I am yet to actually use all these tools in anger. I do not think I will stop adding features: it is too much fun, and I have a list of ideas. But I will certainly start running the skills more often, and actually following their instructions.
