Had my first try at rinsing/washing yeast, and think I did a pretty good job. The attached photo is after about 5 days in the fridge after coming off a pale ale.
There was very little trub in the primary, as I use a paint strainer to filter all the pellet trub when heading into primary, so all that was there was yeast.
Obviously the yeast isn't evenly distributed, and I read you can consolidate after it settles in the fridge. What's the best way to do this? Decant the liquid, then take a sanitized spoon, transfer it all to a smaller jar, top off with some of that extra decanted liquid until there's no headspace? I feel like I could fill an 8oz jar, at least, with almost 100 compacted yeast cake, yeah?
