Hey Guys, So I have started a yeast bank using this forum http://www.beertools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5632&sid=5a9494fb9b06a234f07d5130a67474ff and used my (washed) yeast to create the samples in these tubes (http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/test-tubes?source=googleps They are basically like white labs tubes) of glycerin 25% distled water 25% and yeast 50%. I thought this was a great idea of how to create a yeast bank till my friend said he was also starting one. But instead of washed yeast he is going to create a starter and draw samples from brand new never used before yeast. So my question is: Is it smarter and more worth while to create a starter to get more viable and healthier cells from brand new yeast or is using washed yeast fine just as healthy and viable?
