I have never heard of re-using yeast. What is the usual process for this, and what are the benefits of reusing yeast vs just buying more?

How long can you keep yeast you have used, washed and stored in the fridge? I have seen a few different answers on this but nothing really definite.
Thanks!
I did a big 9% stout and the yeast I washed after 4 weeks of primary were the only to start off really sluggish even after a starter.

WrathsU said:Check the sticky at the top of this subforum titled "Washing Yeast Illustrated". It's very informative and I've followed it multiple times with success.
I've used 8mo old yeast with success before and I imagine I could use older yeast, just haven't tried so yet.
