Hi there,
Just pitched a stout with some 3711. Now feel like brewing a saison. Always thought there was some rule saying you can't reuse yeast from a dark beer into a light beer. True?
Couldn't I just grab a big bottle full of yeast (from the yeast cake), decant off any beer and top with cooled boiled water. Swish it around and repeat 2 more times? Make up a starter and also decant that off the yeast?
Cheers
Phil
