Here's my situation.
I rinsed some white labs london ale yeast from one of my fermenters. I wasn't happy with the amount of space they were taking up in the fridge, so I washed them 1 more time from pint sized mason jars into 4oz jelly jars.
I am noticing a greenish brown layer (trub im assuming), a white layer, and a light brown layer, in that order from bottom to top.
I'm assuming the white layer is the live yeast and the light brown layer is dead yeast?
If that's the case, I'm considering taking one of the jars of the yeast and stepping it up so that I have some more viable yeast. How should I go about doing this? (ie, how much starter wort, is it possible, etc..)
