Reading this thread has got me thinking...
Is it possible to harvest yeast directly from Primary?
By that I mean:
Would this be ok for re-using yeast in future batches?
I'm thinking of taking the harvest roughly 1 week into primary. I usually leave the beer in primary for just shy of a month.

By that I mean:
- Take about a bottle's worth (call it 450ml) of beer from primary just after the majority of fermentation is complete
- Seal the bottle (cap it)
- Stick it in the fridge for 3 - 4 weeks until next brew
- Create a starter with some DME + the bottled harvest
