slanting yeast into beer bottles.

[Jonathanquist]

I have been thinking about making a big starter and slanting the yeast off into about 6 or more bottles. These bottles would be sanitized like normal. And then throwing the bottles into the fridge. I was wondering how this sounds in regards to sanitation.

as long as things are sanitized, I don't see why this would be a problem. I used 12 ounce mason jars so the only difference would be the shape of the container.

I saw your post on r/homebrewing/ as well so I figured you should get at least one response from the interwebz.

I wash yeast into 12 oz bottles, then pour off most of the liquid, swirl the rest with the yeast, and transfer to 4 oz mason jelly jars. I typically do 4 bottles per batch under 1.06 OG.
