what is the reason for saving your yeast and using it over and over?
makes since....what is the reason to use liquid vs dry yeast?
There are a lot more strains of liquid yeast available compared with dry yeast. That's really the only reason I have for using liquid over dry, especially due to the cost difference!
+1 on that. If I'm making a stout or an APA or something, dry works great. But if you want to make something that takes a specific straing, like my Saison I brewed this summer, gotta have the yeast for it and they only have it in liquid form.
Then there's pacman. That's good for all kinds of stuff!
While cost savings is a plus you are also growing larger quantities of very vigorous yeast. Expect stronger and more attenuated fermentation, which is a good thing IMO.
