I am finally going to attempt a yeast harvest. Doing 10G of Patersbier now, so will harvest the 3787,
What is the best method since I will most likely be doing these beers back to back? Do the whole yeast wash thing, reprime and pitch the slurry?
I should have enough slurry from my Patersbier that I don't need to make a huge ass starter I am hoping.
Can't wait to try this. I normally do 10 G batches in two 6 gallon Better bottles (primary only) but for this, I think I will do 6.5 gallons in a 30 liter bucket, secondary in the 6G better bottle and then bottle so the beer can spend a nice amount of time bottle conditioning.
As for the secondary, 50 really isn't an option for me for any extended period. I can either do it at 68-70 or secondary in a corny at 42.
