Yeast washing wine yeast?

[Deepregret]

Hi,
I just made some mead and am wondering if it is possible to wash and reuse the yeast the same as you would with beer yeast? I used Lalvin EC-1118. Anyone done this before?

Haven't done it, but see no reason why you couldn't.

I think that's a single strain not a blend (I don't suggest reusing blends as they can change character)

Sorry can't Google atm using the pc remotely.

But yes - why not!

Thanks mate! Ye I’ll give it a go!

ah, EC1118, the virus-ridden yeast. Therein lies a fascinating tale.
