I have read about slanting, washing, and much more rarely, splitting. I have washed yeast, and just recently I split a starter. The split looks nice and viable in the vial, but I don't know how long it will last compared to a washed sample.
To the question then, do you slant, do you wash, or do you split starters, and which do you think is best, and why.
I searched for something like this, and I think for someone who is looking to reduce costs by keeping yeast strains, this may prove to be a very useful thread.
EDIT: If I could please have a Moderator change the title to "What method do you use to harvest yeast" I realized it's not really clear the way I asked it.
