Hi,
as many others i've recently noticed that a large portion of cash is going into buying yeast vials. So i'd like to save on that.
I've been reading up on yeast washing. But it seems that gives a lot of steps for contamination.
As an alternative would it be possible to make a rather large yeast starter, pitch half of it and feed te rest some more maltodextrin solution, keep it in teh fridge, and use it as a base for the next yeast starter?
That way I could buy one vial of my 3 favorite yeast strains, and never buy one again.
Anybody have experience with that?
