There are a lot of people who just pour the yeast cake into jars and place them in the fridge.BierMuncher said:Did you just pour or siphon from the yeast cake into these bottles? I siphoned out all the beer, then filled each of those plastic jugs with a couple cups of sanitized water...threw them into the carboy and swirled the yeast cake loose, then poured the slurry directly into the jugs.
There is nothing wrong with doing that IF the fermentation is complete.
However, by washing the yeast from the rest of the trub your yeast is cleaner and the sediment won't impart their nastiness onto the yeast.
A clean yeast is a happy yeast...
