Show the pic before you stir. If the yeast is all settled out, then it's probably done.

I personally prefer this method for keeping the yeast going, no rinsing, no washing, just nice yeast, happy and healthy. Today I brewed a Scottish Export, and I'm going to use my WLP-028 Edinburgh. I believe this will be it's 20th, and last, batch of fermented beverage. Sorry if it's a...

My two bits... If you're system isn't used to probiotics like Lactobacillus, then yea, it certainly can give you cramps / gas / diarrhea. Same thing happens to people when they drink too much kombucha too quickly. Same goes for Brettanomyces in beer. I remember this one time someone else drove...
