I washed us-05 2 days ago and fridged 5 pint jars. I had a gallon of washed yeast in suspension before siphoning off the 5 jars. I planned to dump the remaining yeast (once settled) into a fresh batch but wasn't able to brew until today.
So I have a starile gallon jug with about .5 inch yeast cake and 3 pints of h2o. my question is can i just decant, resuspend in a little sterile water and pitch? it has not been refrigerated but had remained airtight, and in the low 60'sF.
I don't have the time to make a starter but think the cell count should be more then enough...
thoughts?
thanks
