Im creating a top cropping vacuum trap as detailed in the book "Yeast". One question I have is in the photo in the book at seems as the erlenmeyer flask that collects the yeast is dry. Would there be any downside to putting ~100ml of sterile distilled water in the bottom?
 
The osmotic pressure difference from the distilled water wouldn't be healthy for the yeast. I know I've read that somewhere before.
