I have looked through the yeast related topics and have failed to find what I am looking for. Can I wash the yeast once fermentation has finished and use it straight away in the following batch within an hour say? I have heard of people putting a new batch straight onto the the leftover sediment in the fermenter, however it is not advised because of the abundance of heavier gunk. I ask because I am using a better yeast at the moment and would like to try my hand at reusing it without going to the trouble of stepping up a starter. Could I wash it and use half and keep half to get practice before trying slants, starters etc. and would this yeast be in a healthy, hungry and reproductive state? I dont want to pitch it and 'kaboom' run for my life!! :blink: Apologies if this topic is already covered..
