I have a 3g Kolsch batch that I will be bottling tonight. I do not have time with my schedule to wash the yeast at all right now but will be brewing another again in 2 weeks with this same yeast and want to save the cost. Would it be OK to take the yeast cake and cover it with distilled sterile water and store it cool for the two weeks then shake up and suspend the yeast back into solution and let the trub settle out and use the suspended yeast for the next batch? If so would it be better to make a starter the day prior? Also besides having to be very meticulously sterile any other cons?
Thanks
Ben
