I've had lots of success harvesting yeast. Typically, I just use the autosiphon to suck about 5 oz into a glass container after racking to keg or bottling bucket. Just suck it right off the top of the primary.
Yes, it has some trub mixed in, but I use it quickly again and figure it's just more flavor. And in doing this, the next batch(es) have been fabulous.
But if you leave this harvested sample in the fridge for 3 months with some trub mixed in... does it matter?
Do you really even need to separate the yeast from the trub for storage?
