So I have finally been fed up with buying 8 dollar wyeast every time so I figured I would begin washing them after primary fermentation is done. Smart right. Well I boiled the jars and the lids in my 44qt ss pot and followed the Yeast washing sticky. As I was putting lids on I noticed some rusting on the lids as well as an off color in the water. As the jars cooled I found that there was rust fragments in the bottom. 2 hours later the water was clear and you could see the rust sediment on the bottom. The question I have is should I decant off the liquid into some jars that have been through Starsan or should I just start over with having the lids in some Star San.
Thanks guys and keep on brewing.
