Can I do it?
I have a Wyeast 1469 (West Yorkshire Ale) which based on the description just screams to be used in a porter, but I need to get a smoked beer on tap because I'm craving it big time. However, I'd really like to use this yeast one more time after the porter is done.
Is the yeast going to pick up too much smoked characteristics to even be worth using again? Will washing it afterwards help this?
I'm not very versed in washing yeast and all that so I thought I'd pose the question.
