I brewed a 1.070 OG porter on 3.3.12 and racked to secondary on 3.21.12. After I racked, I save the yeast cake in a sanitized mason jar pouring ~750mL of cake in first and topping with 750mL of the porter I did not wash it.
The mason jar has been sitting in my refrigerator for about 9 months and I'm ready to make the porter again. I opened it for the first time and it smells great! Just like the beer did. No off odors.
I was thinking I should wash the yeast from the mason jar first and then use the washed yeast in the starters. Sound about right? Is washing necessary at this point?
