I washed and saved yeast (Wyeast 1072) from a pale-ale batch in a carboy. I got almost a quart of nice, tan-looking slurry. It had been in the carboy for three weeks from the brew day. I chilled the carboy for one day to settle it out for bottling.
Should I make a starter to use my yeast for two carboys (a rye beer next) or warm it up and pitch directly? I have heard this recommended both ways.
One more thing. Does anyone bottle directly into 1/2 gal. growlers? I have several of them with good caps.
