Hey guys,
I've washed yeast a few times so far following the Illustrated Yeast Washing technique by Bernie Brewer (thanks btw!).
Usually when I wash the yeast and chill it in the fridge I get one small off white layer at the bottom of the mason jar, but recently I've stumbled across this double layer:
My first guess was that the thin white layer is the yeast, followed by trub? Is this correct? If so can I still use this in a yeast starter?
Or is there something funny about Wyeast 1056 that I'm missing?
Thanks to anyone that can help!
