Can someone clear up some questions I have in regards to yeast starters and reusing yeast? As of now I have been just pitching White labs yeast from the vial or rehydrating my yeast a few hours prior to brewing up a batch. I have also started washing and saving the last few batches of used yeast and built a DIY stirplate with intentions of making big healthy yeast starters.
So I understand that if I buy new yeast and some DME and mix it up I will have a starter. My confusion is, if I decide to reuse some yeast slurry out of the fridge do I just pitch it or do I throw it on the stirplate for a night with some DME?
Thanks,
