I have just put a lager into Secondary and collected the yeast slurry from the primary. It was a saflager w34/70 dry yeast. I want to use it in liquid form for my next brew, not for money saving , mainly to see if I get a better beer out of it and for the learning experience, Im still pretty much a newbie. I have read chillers post on yeast harvesting and am in the process of washing the yeast and topping it up with cooled boiled water. From this yeast I will collect (4) 50 ml sample jars. I want to make a starter of about 1 litre, My question is how do I go about this. Do I just use (1) 50 ml jar to make the starter and how much LDM do I use and how do I build the starter up to 1 litre.
Thanks for any help.
