Hi all,
I have successfully cultured yeast from the sludge at the bottom of the fermenter, however I can't help but wonder if there is a better way to go (especially considering I'm using the safale 04 and the WB06 dried yeast).
Has anyone successfully tried the following or a variation of it?
Example procedure:
1-Remove 3g of yeast from a 11.5g sachet
2-Use 3g in an overnight 0.5L culture (to pitch a 15L batch)
3-Store remaining 8.5g of yeast in fridge for later
This just seems more sensible than storing jars of yeast washed in sterilised water in the fridge.
What do you think?
