I just racked my Belgian IPA into my secondary fermenter. This being only my 2nd batch of home brew I'm curious if now is the correct time to attempt to harvest the activated yeast from the primary fermenter for potential later use?
I didn't want to flush all the yeast/sediment/krausen down the drain without at least asking the question.
Is this something that is typically done? By newbies such as myself or rather by the much more experienced? Does cultivating this yeast, a dry Danstar Belle Saison, ultimately serve any real beneficial purpose?
I do plan on brewing a lot of Belgian Golden Ales and maybe some Dubbels or Trippels later on down the line, otherwise I'm feeling like maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
