I brewed a 1 gal batch in order to grow enough yeast for a subsequent 5 gallon batch, which I'm brewing on Sunday. I'd rather not bottle the 1 gal batch on Sunday before brewing. I'd rather bottle it on Saturday, roughly 24 hours before. How would you go about storing the slurry for 24 hours?
Just to clarify between 1/2 and 3/4. When I rack off beer, I usually get almost all the beer and just leave a couple ounces remaining, which wouldn't be enough to cover the entire yeast slurry. That's what I'm talking about in options 1 and 2. For 3 and 4, I would purposely leave behind enough beer to make a layer of beer on top of the slurry (maybe 10-12 oz?).
What would you do?
