I have a smack pack of Rogue Pacman that is about 4 months old.
I want to use it in an IPA (1.070) and save some of the yeast for a future batch. Here's what I was thinking of doing...does this violate any of the yeast rules/methods?
Method:
2 Liter starter on stir plate....then chill decant most of beer and pour some of the yeast into a sanitized whitelab vial for storage.
then...remainder of yeast in 1 liter starter on stirplate...chill...decant and do a 2 liter starter on the stirplate.
Is this a workable approach?
