Tell me if I'm thinking straight. The Wyeast website says that if a slurry sediments out to between 40-60% solids, you can figure that the slurry will correlate to about 1.2 billion cells per ml.
When I rinse my yeast, I finish with the small mason jars. They hold about 200 ml. So, if I understand the math. One such jar, with sediment up to about the half way point would be roughly 240 billion yeast cells. (I know this assumes they haven't been stored for long.)
A jar, one quarter full of sediment would be about 120 billion cells and so on. They always say do the math, but that is usually where I get messed up.
