I'm planning to wash a hefeweizen yeast cake next Thursday for another hefeweizen I want to brew on June 6th.
I'm going to use the method in the sticky, but I plan to end up with two 1qt containers rather than the 4 1pint containers. Given that I should have a pretty decent amount of yeast in each qt jar, do I need to use a starter other than to ensure the yeast is alive?
I suppose my other option is bottle and brew on the same day and pitch a portion of the yeast cake into the fresh wort, but I'm still not confident about how much slurry I would need even after using the help menu on mrmalty. I think the calculator said about 100ml or a half cup, but its a bit unclear as to whether that's before or after washing the yeast.
Any advice would be appreciated
