So I don't like rinsing and washing yeast, I worry too much about sanitation and ruining batches of beer (I brew 20 gallons at a time, so there is cost and time).
I already make starters, so it occurred to me that if I make a big starter for a brew day, why not pour off some into a second flask with prepared medium, grow it then crash it in the fridge/freezer for future use?
I think this has the advantages of highly sterile process and no trub to deal with so you can store smaller volumes.
No sure if this is particularly new or special, but there it is,
Cheers
