I made a starter for my second brew last week which used WLP 530, and it gave off a really appealing banana aroma from that, how can I get that aroma to stick around in a beer? I placed my fermenter in the same room as the starter was kept in for two days. I was thinking it would be a good idea to wash this yeast if I can and use it to replicate that. The starter was made up of about 1.5 L each of LME and water, boiled quickly, cooled, and then the vial was pitched with mini-wort into a tin-foil covered container.
