Pbowler:
The yeast from the first brew is collected from the primary fermentation. In my process, I do a primary fermentation in the typical palstic bucket and after about 4-6 days I transfer through a siphon into a glass carboy for secondary fermentation. The yeast and trub in the bucket is collected into the sanitary container I store in the frig until i use it again. To separate the trub from the yeast, I add the sterile water, mix well and most of the large trub pieces settle in the 1-2 minutes befroe pouring off the active yeast. The active yeast will remain in the liguid as they have not flocculated and settled.
