I've got a vial of still viable White Labs WLP023 (burton ale), and it's extremely stuck to the bottom of the vial. No amount of ridiculous shaking has gotten it to come up off the bottom of the vial.
Do I buy a new vial, or as I'm about to pitch to my starter, should I just use a stick (like a steel kabab stick in starsan) to mix it up?
Would boiling the object to mix it up be a better idea than starsan to try and avoid introducing yeast-killer into concentrated yeast?
