Yeast washing

[new_brewer2014]

Is it possible to get enough viable yeast from a one gallon batch? I see 5 gallon brewers do it successfully and wanted to see if any small batch brewers do this regularly.

Sure.

Check out the calculator here:http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html

There is a calculator for using slurry. If you do not have enough slurry you can always use it to make a starter.

How much volume do you use for your starter? Think of the 1 gallon batch as a really big starter.

I am not exactly sure about the starter. I used a half packet of dry yeast.
