Hi, all.
So, I'm going to culture out some yeast from bottles of my homebrew (I made it before I knew about yeast washing, and it's a seasonal strain--Bier de Garde--which makes delicious stuff and I want to keep it around). I understand how to culture the yeast out of the bottle again, but most of the instructions I read are for reculturing for the purpose of making a starter to pitch soon after. I want to reculture this stuff and store it, and I'd rather not be messing with petri dishes and slants.
Should I just make a starter, step it up, then wash the yeast from the trub and store as I would for any washed yeast?
Thanks,
CB
