I watched an 1.5 hour interview with Chris White, and in it he says he prefers to just scoop out a portion of the yeast cake, and use it in the next beer instead of washing it. If Chris White says it’s better not to bother washing then I’m comfortable trying it out. This will make it so much easier. My question is how much should I scoop out?
I am brewing a big 1.090 American Stout, and I want to try this technique on this beer. I’ll be using the yeast from a 1.050 blonde ale. Brewer’s friend’s pitching calculator says I need 450 billion cells, but I don’t have an accurate way of knowing how much is in the slurry. Do I use 1 cup? 2cups? Does anyone use this method of reusing yeast?
