Washing Rochefort yeast from blowoff tube?

[Soma]

I brewed a strong ale with Rochefort yeast (1762 wyeast I believe) 10 days ago. Today I went downstairs and noticed a huge amount of yeast (a cup or so) sitting at the bottom of the solution that my blowoff tube was submerged in. This was a starsan solution, so I'm curious if this yeast would be dead? It's very fluffy and white and smells... very yeasty. Could I save this yeast and make starters in the future with it, or would being in the starsan solution have killed it all?

the starsan would have killed it, and being in that solution would have made it too nasty to use anyway

Offhand sound like a bad idea. Your going to have a pile of yeast available in the fermenter if you want to do a harvest. Why would you do this?

Spend about 6 bucks and get yourself a smack pack of fresh yeast. Don't bother with the stuff in the bucket.

Do not do.
