Washed WY 1272 after ~36 hours. The thin white layer is yeast, and the thick darker layer is trub, right?
This was my attempt (failed, I think) to save a measured amount of yeast to use on a 1090 winter warmer. I got too much kettle trub from the original beer in my carboy, I left too much beer on the cake when I began the yeast washing process, and because I couldn't see what I was doing very well, I wasn't adept enough not to pour the trub into my washing vessels.
If you'll confirm that this is the measly amount of yeast I think it is, I'll move on to plan B--buying a fresh smack pack of 1028 and building a big starter. I wanted to work with 1028, anyway.
