without reading all 81 pages in the yeast washing sticky. Can you u screen out all the trub and so on from the the primary and then let it settle leaving only the yeast?lets say put in your clean water ,shake , then pour through a screen into you jar and let it settle just to remove all the big stuff maybe make it a lil easier not to pour any junk into you cleaned yeast? i hope this make sense?
 
I'd think you'd have to be careful not to aerate the water if you're pouring through a screen. Also, I believe shaking is a bad idea for the same reason.
 
I'm not aware that you need to avoid aeration in yeast washing.

I would think the screen would be too coarse, or it would also catch yeast.
