do i need to make a starter when i do this, or if i was to use bigger jars, say 1 liter for example, would i be able to just pitch it??
I have not read through this post completely, but is there an issue with the hops in the bottom, or is this done on batches when no hops are added to the secondary? Great write-up.

That's what I do, except I only fill one pint jar; just enough for my next brew which is typically the following week. If I was to store it much longer, I think it would need to be rinsed better.Do you think it is absolutely necessary to first decant the slurry into the larger jar, let settle, then pour off into the pint size mason jars for storage?
Or could it simply be to decant the slurry from the primary fermenter into the pint size mason jars and then store?
Cheers
any issue freezing the jars...i.e. - shattered glass jars in the freezer?

Nah! just rinsed it off with some water that was dripping off the roof.:cross:TBel. Hope you sanitized the heck out of that turkey baster.

Just wanted to ask again about the yeast sitting over night? I plan to finish up tonight but want to make sure I'm not wasting my time. Thanks.
You should be ok, sounds like you have it all sealed up. It will keep fine overnight.

Just pour carefully into the big jar. You can also use an incremental step if the carboy is too unwieldy--swirl it up and puor into a bucket with no waiting for the first round or pour into 2 large glass jars instead of 1 then wait, decant, wait, decant.
Congrats on taking another leap in your brewing experience
I have the Bubon, so I'll likely be around all day if you have any other questions.
Gonna wash some yeast. How do you guys recommend pulling the liquid out after waiting the initial 20 mins (from carboy)?
