yeast washing question

[rcooper44537]

i'm going to wash yeast tomorrow according to the wiki on this site. The yeast im washing is from an ipa. The trub holds all of my hops from the boil/dry hopping. How should I go about washing these out of the yeast?

Boil 2 gallons water with bell jars, let it chill to room temp.

Sanitize a .5-1 gallon container (flask or growler) and funnel.

Put yeast in larger container with some of the boiled water; shake the s*it out of it and let it sit for 30-60 mins (I put in fridge).

Pour off crud from top, add a little more water and repeat last step.

Pour creamy white yeast into bell jars half full of boiled and cooled water; cap and put in fridge.

Cheers!

is this because the yeast would drop out of suspension quicker than the trub?
