Followed the directions from the Yeast Washing Illustrated thread, but I'm worried I got mostly trub.
The batches I washed from were my 1st and 2nd all grain brews and there was a lot of trub in the fermenter. I had difficulty swirling the trub/yeast cake on the bottom to get all the slurry up into the sterilized water I added. I also didn't see a whole lot of separation at each step, only a little bit, but not as obviously separated as the pics in the thread.
Now, it's been in the fridge for 24 hours, and it looks like mostly trub with a small white layer of yeast on top. Perhaps it just takes longer to separate more, but here's a pic...
Thanks in advance for any opinions!
