Yeast Washing Q

[aekdbbop]

Ok, I have a hefe that may have fermented a little warm,

I was wondering if the fermentation temp would have a negative effect on later batches if i save the yeast from this batch.

thanks!

What's "a little warm"? The yeast may not be as viable from having been stressed, but we're talking up in the 80's here. If by "a little warm" you mean 75ºf, then nah, they're fine.

 

[aekdbbop]

yeah, less than 77

As long as the beer is not infected and is not so hot as to kill the yeast, you should have no problems reusing it.
