I combined US-05 and S-04 in a batch of beer about 3 months ago. Since then I have harvested/washed the yeast from this batch 3 times. The yeast that developed from the 05 and 04 together has helped me create some of my best beers.
My question is how many times can continue to harvest/wash yeast from this first batch? I think I remember that it loses some of it's viability after 5 washings or so. But heck, I toss this stuff in a starter and it takes off in an hour usually.
