OK, this question may very well belie my ignorance - so be it
Can one simply pour the accumulated yeast sediment from a bottle of homebrew into a new batch of homebrew as a starter? Would it work at all? Only if the beer was relatively fresh, maybe?
I'm guessing no because nobody seems to do this, but why?
I became curious because the yeast at the bottom of my bottles of homebrew seems so clean.
