Those of you that are saving and re-using your yeast slurry. How much by VOLUME do you pitch?
I've been harvesting and reusing yeast for a couple years now...but it's just a guess as to how much to use each time.
How much yeast cake do y'all use? Actual volume of settled yeast cake. Pint? Quart? half pint? quarter pint? cup? 1/2 cup? etc.
I'm looking for measurable volume of yeast slurry, NOT "1/2 a cake" since "cake" is not a measure of volume.
I've been keeping slurry in 1/2 pint jars, but each slurry settles to only 1/4 to 1/2 the jar capacity and the rest is beer on top. So I guess I'm pitching 1/8 to 1/4 pint of settled yeast cake or quarter to half a cup of slurry.
