I tried "washing" today for the first time and seemed to get it right (it was very simple). However, the yeast I am retaining came out of an IPA to which I added a few pepper tincture variants to in secondary. I am curious as to if the Anaheim, Jalapeño, Serrano, and Habanero HEAT may pass on through to the next batch when rep itched and more so has it affected the yeast health. Do yeast retain flavor from styles of beer in which they were used?
Even though washing yeast doesn't omit 100% of the beer in which it was previously in, I would guess it's diluted significantly enough to have little to no effect. Input and personal experience is appreciated!
