I just got a couple mason jars of yeast donated to me from a local brewery; presumably the same yeast was in each jar. They looked and acted similarly, so I combined them into a growler with an airlock. I've been told by a few people that it isn't necessary to wash them and to just pitch a cup's worth.
Can someone explain why there's a top and bottom layer to these beasties? Should I mix it all together and add a cup to a starter? Decant the beer off? I'm assuming they'll last in the fridge for a good while so I can do a number of batches over the next month or so.
