Hi Guys, I am very new to cider making and have recently started washing my yeast, my father in law has recently started making his own wine. I told my father in law about it and now we are both wondering if he should consider washing his wine yeast. I have read that apparently the higher alcohol content of wine might be detrimental to this idea, my question is thus: what about washing the yeast from your first racking? Assuming the alcohol content would not be so high yet as fermentation is still ongoing?
Have any of you done this?
Note: courier costs to get proper yeast is a big motivation here. Yeast may be cheap, getting it to us, a different matter.
