Hi Folks,
Loved the Yeast Washing Illustrated Sticky. I stuck to it pretty much word for word, but I have a few questions:
After I put the yeast/trub from my primary into a 64oz jar, I waited about 30mins. It settled a little bit, but it was still really cloudy.
I then filled up a 12oz mason jar, waited 30min and then poured again into another mason jar and refridgerated.
Repeated 3 times.
When I went to bed, they were very cloudy. However when I came home from work today, they settled out a TON. I have a link below to show what they look like today...

Anyway, as you can see I have 3 distinct layers:
Top of what looks like the beer that I racked
Middle layer of white(yeast?)
Bottom layer of light brown(trub?)
Do I need to continue to decant into another jar, or am I good to go?
If I need to decant again, how can I only isolate the yeast? Is it ok to just get the top and middle layer?
Probably just worrying, but if I do this wrong, I could potentially ruin my next batch.
Thanks for your help!
