May I please hijack - so all I have got to do is suck the trub into some pop-top bottles and place them in the fridge until I am ready to brew again - then I just bring it up to room temp make a starter with it and pitch as per any other yeast?

Basically, but not exactly. I'd wash the yeast first to get it clean. Do a search on this forum on the subject...:D
 
When everyone talks about washing yeast, are you using acid to bring PH to 2.1 or just rinsing to get let the sediment settle and float?
