Hi everyone!
I am going to brew soon and I had a question on making a starter or not.
About a month ago I washed some yeast I got from a saison and stored it in 4 jars in the fridge. This was the first time I have ever done this and was pretty excited about it. I'm all about being as thrifty as possible. The question I have is if I need to make a starter for these guys to get them active again prior to pitching or if I can just throw them in the fermenter? Also, if I am able to just throw them in. Should I dump majority of the water out still siting in the jars?
Thanks a lot
Mike
