I have just a quick question on reusing yeast!!!
I have read an article that says to just siphon off the trub into about 3-4 bottles and fille them about 2/3 way full with some sterilized water. Put in the fridge for the next batch you want to brew using this strain of yeast. Make a starter and you are good to go.
Okay, my question is though what about all the junk in that trub? Like the hops and any flavoring you might have added to the primary? Will that come through when using this strain on the next batch?
For instance I made a cider last night with Pear juices and crushed pears along with lemon zest.....I know that is going to fall to into the trub, but can I save this yeast to use again say on another cider that is a different flavored cider?
Also got some of the White Labs 10th anniversary yeast yesterday and would like to save that for some more batches down the road, but what about the hops and all in the trub?
Any help would be great!!!
