I washed a yeast cake for the first time this morning. Pictures are attached. The first one is immediately after pouring the slurry into the jars and the second is about 25 minutes later. I decanted the top two layers into 4 pint sized jars. What's a good estimate for the yeast quantity that I've collected?
Beer info:
Yeast cake from a 5 gallon batch of Centennial Blonde
The beer was in primary for 10 days
A dry packet of Safale S-04 was used to ferment
I think you can estimate the number of cells in the yeast cake and then do some math to determine the number in a pint. How much guesswork is involved?
