Hi Guys, Quick Question; Do the spirit guys harvest, wash and reuse Yeast like we do the in Beer World?

Thanks guys - great advice as always on this forum. So far I have not had a boil-over, but its always make me do some uber-paddling when it gets near the boil (maybe just my personal paranoia). I like the water spray idea and will try that. Happy New year everyone. Heres to some great brews in...
