I need some help here. Need to know what to keep and what to throw away.
Background:
Attempting my first yeast wash (technically 2 yeast washes as I have two different strains), and here's where I'm at til now.
-I left a bit of beer on the yeast cake from each primary fermenter (both beers are porters--just in case that makes any difference to what you see here).
-I swirled up each one and poured into two separate sanitized jars.
-Put each in fridge and a day later, here's how they are looking.
This one is a California Ale yeast:
3 layers, and as you can see, the top layer is VERY thin--like less than a centimeter.
This one is a Pacific Ale yeast:
Much more even in the layers.
Any thoughts on what I should do next would be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Chad
