I have checked out all the great tips on here about yeast washing and I think I have a good method ready to try this out this weekend but I would like to see if anyone can answer some questions I have.
I have six 6oz empty baby food jars and one 32oz plastic bottle (http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Servin-Saver-White-Bottle/dp/B0000CFN3O/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318879602&sr=8-1-spell)
Is there any reason I could not boil water in the six 6 ounce jars and use that to dump into the carboy to wash the yeast and then put into the 32oz plastic bottle? After letting the plastic bottle sit for about 20 minutes I would then pour the yeast solution into the 6oz jars.
Does anyone see an issue with this method? I would obviously Starsan the plastic container before hand to avoid contamination.
Thanks for your input!
