I just bottled a wit made with WLP 400 - I saved about 1 cup of the yeast cake from the primary bucket into a glass jar. The cake was clean of sediment and my sanitation was impeccable.
Planning to brew another wit tomorrow. Many people say I can just pitch the 1 cup of fresh slurry into the wort.
For some reason, I decided I wanted a starter. So I made a standard 500ml starter (2 cups of boiled water with 1/2 cup light DME) and added the 1 cup of yeast slurry.
This quick starter was probably unnecessary, but will it hurt me in any way? I figure that I'd be pitching the 1 cup of yeast slurry anyway...so why not make the slurry into "super starter slurry"? Thanks for your help!
