I recently brewed a Wit and after bottling I reclaimed some of the Wyeast 3463 Forbidden Fruit from the carboy. It was a slurry but has sinced settled in a sterilized quart jar. If I wanted to reuse this how much should be used? Can it be split up into seperate batches for pitching? Do I need to make a starter prior to using? Thanks for any help.

Read the sticky at the top of the Yeast page...

+1 to that. There is a ton of great info in that thread. To sum it up though, yes you can reuse it and split it up, but you should do a starter to either wake the yeast up or get the cell count up.
