I read the yeast washing sticky on here, and loosely followed it today with some WYeast Pacman. What I did was boiled the jars, kept them full of the water and let it cool. After bottling, I dumped them all onto the yeast cake and swirled it around some. Then I dumped the water/yeast slurry back into the jars and now they're in my fridge. I have two questions about it:
1. When I use these jars of yeast, I've heard that I'm only suppose to dump in the liquid on top and not the sediment. Is this correct? It seems like after it settles, there would be pretty much only water on top and it wouldn't work.
2. How long can I expect these yeast samples to be good for?
