To preface... I am not arguing this procedure or trying to anger anyone but am genuinely curious.
For those who re-use/wash yeast can you tell me why? Packages of yeast are $2 or so; liquid yeast is $10 or so - not a great amount in the grand scheme of things. But, is it to save these dollars/pounds/pesos? Is it the fun of doing it on your own? Is it actually possible to tweak yeasts to our own recipes?
Thanks and Happy New Year!
