I am a little unsure about the generation of yeast that have been grown in starters and never fermented out a beer as such.
For instance I take a vial or smackpack of yeast and put it into a starter then rinse and store the yeast in a couple of containers. Is this still first generation yeast?
If I take one of those containers from the fridge and grow it up in a starter and store some of the yeast again then what generation is that stored yeast?
If you step up starters rather than make a larger one does that have any impact on what generation the yeast is?
