Washing Dry Yeast

[ahsndpro]

I know that people don't really wash/reuse dry yeast because it isn't worth it to save the money. I was wondering, however, if it is possible. I would like to practice on the cheap dry yeast before I give it a shot with the liquid. Thanks

Yeah, you can do it. Everything is exactly the same as you would with liquid yeast. As you said, the only reason most people don't do it is because dry is way cheaper than liquid.

Cool...Thanks! I think I'll give it a shot.

I washed some Safale-56 and it got really gummy-like. It worked though and that's all that mattered.
