has anyone washed yeast that started off as a dry packet?
bigjoe, when you measure it against a jar of water is that misleading? doesn't beer weigh more than water?
10 hours is not enough, it'll settle nice and tight after 5-7 days in the fridge. At least that's been my experience.
On another note, I've been washing and keeping yeast for all the liquid yeasts I've bought (only Wyeast American, WLP001 and WLP 570) and I just re-used the WLP001 for a SMaSH. When I was bottling my belgian, I realized that I didn't have any clean mason jar lids, so I bottled my yeast. I literally washed twice and then racked into sanitized beer bottles and capped as usual and then put in the fridge. It looks like it worked just fine. This might become a routine thing, it's super easy and all the eqpmnt is there from the bottling.
Anyone else do anything similar, or have any concerns about doing it this way?
