I harvested yeast from 2 bottles of 2 hearted. I ended up with about 1/4" of yeast in a quart mason jar. The beer it made smelled a little off, not too bad, but not great either. The yeast itself is tan but with some black colors. Kind of like sand on a beach with some black rocks. Not a smooth creamy medium brown.

Is this worth keeping? I have 2 more bottles i can redo with. Should I just dump it and start over?
 
Harvest the yeast from the other 2 bottles as well so you will have as much as possible and start growing it in starters stepping it up a few times.
