Hey Screwy,
FWIW, maybe check posts 79 & 80.
Your argument seems pretty strong, & as a newbie i'd happily defer to both those facts & your experience as a brewer.
However, as a newbie, i was keen to practice on something that is cheap & easily replaced if anything goes pear-shaped, and hopefully was somewhat robust (could be wrong there given the data you presented).
TBH, i might've practiced on whatever was in the fermenter at the time when i finally decided to give this yeast rinsing thing a crack. It just happened to be BRY-97. Admittedly, now that i've done it wish i had've made the move to rinsing a few months earlier to re-use the Kolsch yeast from the first batch i did using a liquid yeast.
On the other hand, a major reason i decided to give it a crack was precisely because, as mentioned, it was a cheap robust yeast; and that gave me enough confidence to take the plunge on the spur of the moment.
A few minor mistakes and patches of confusion later & i now have my first re-used yeast finishing up a fermentation, and i'm doing the last stages of rinsing on the rest of the BRY-97 i saved. :super:
More importantly, i think i have a better idea of what the hell i'm doing, so the WLP-351 i have sitting in the fridge is likely to get a much smoother run with its starter (will be my first) and its subsequent re-use.
Oh and now i've done it once - like so much of what i've done in brewing so far - i just kinda think - damn, that's all it is? ... just pour some gunk into jars, fill with water, swish around a bit every now and then, pour into other jars, etc, and that's it. Piece of cake!! B) However i still remember 2 weeks ago, reading & re-reading a few threads wondering WTF, and have i got this sequence right, etc? :blink:
my 2c
Cheers :icon_cheers:
