I read the thread by Woodlandbrew "Simple yeast storage" and now I don't know if I may just want to pitch the stored slurry, or wash it first.
I did a couple yeast washings before, just for practice (don't still have that yeast). I tossed it after it was in the fridge for a few weeks because I believed it smelled "off", but I don't know.
What I DO have, is two fermenter buckets still going (already dry hopped), a stir plate and refrigerated wort. I plan to brew again in two weeks.
What would you do? Store the slurry in the fridge so the hops prevent microbial growth until I plan to use it, wash it and add a little wort and stir plate it the day before use?
Thoughts? (And I don't have any DME)
