Hi All,
So I've washed yeast a few times with the method in the sticky, and it works great, but it's time consuming. Boil, wait overnight to cool; it's a process. I had a Belgian Dubbel that had a nice, strong fermentation, so I want to save some of the yeast. Not a hoppy beer, big malty flavors, and a nice, tight yeast cake. Why can't I just pour this cake into a sanitized jar, store it in the fridge, and call it a day?
