If you wash the yeast and shown in the other thread, does that mean that you will never have to buy yeast again?

Pour it in a jar, drive to Chuck E Cheese, strip to your man-thong, and start slathering it all over your body.

I have jarred unwashed yeast for later use, as well as using 1/2 a yeast cake to just pitch the wort onto.
Both have produced great results.
The jarred unwashed yeast was refridgerated for 4 months or so.
Wyeast and Whitelabs have processes to be sure, but they aren't magic.
I am sure that the old german brewers kept the same yeast going for hundreds of years without stopping by the LHBS for a smack pack.
Does this mean that the yeast gets weaker each time you reuse them?
more like mutation
I flushed my last yeast cake, and I now feel guilty while reading this thread. Would it be possible to wash the yeast from the bottom of my beer bottles?
Yep. Think of your carboy as West Virginia. There ain't nowhere else to go or nothin' else to do but inbreed. Over time, the inhabitants just get further from the current state of evolution.
