Washing Yeast Wrong am I ?

Im trying to save yeast , I have red and understand the {Stickey}on yeast washing , but however I did it wrong compared to the illistration , Tell me if you wASH your yeast what your opinion is ....

Here is what i did : 1-upon emptying a primary I added water to the (yeast cake) slaushed it around and then directly poured into mason jars with no settling proses , In the inllistration they let it settle and pour the liquid off the top , Mine was well mix up "not settled" , Im sure there is yeast but how clean and or how do i wash it from this point ? I can post pics if needed ?

If it were me, depending how much actual yeast in the jar; i'd either use it and do it right next time, or make a starter, settle a short time, and decant the yeast off the trub if I was fussy.
Depends what you plan to do with it.

If you have mostly trub, just do it again next time. Otherwise I wouldn't really worry about it.

There's nothing wrong with that. You can shake the jars you collected, give it a few minutes to settle, then pour off from there.

I usually collect a lot from the carboy into multiple jars. I 'wash' each one on it's own and end up with several jars with just a bit of clean yeast in each one. Once they are all clean, I decant and combine them all into one jar that is pitchworthy.

I filled 3 jars , They are in the fridge now . CAN I re,shake them cold or let them get to room temp ?

Cold is fine.

Shake. Let them sit about 10 minutes or so, until the hop crud is mostly at the bottom, pour off the light colored beer/yeast mix at the top into new sanitized jars. Do that with all 3 jars and return the new jars with the yeast beer mix to the fridge. Wait a day or two and all the yeast will be in a nice layer on the bottom of the jar. Pour off most of the beer on top of them all. Combine all 3 little yeast cakes into one jar and top the single jar off with clean boiled and cooled water.

You're done.
