I’m looking for what you guys do, in the past I’ve just harvested or washed yeast from previous batches but after taking a break and then not brewing as often I’ve had some bad batches that have come from reusing yeast.
All of the harvested yeast ones were a brand new mason jar that was sanitized and of them half turned out as dumpers, I know I’m a lazy brewer but I kept everything sanitized and then the jars went right into the fridge.
So what I’m thinking is just to make a starter and just over build and save from there instead of harvesting and worry about what might get in there.
I have been brewing for 10 years now and I feel like this is a silly question but with me maKing 10 gallon batches and not having the time to brew more I need all of the beer I make to be drinkable, when I was brewing every other week I could afford the occasional beer that didn’t turn out how I’d like and either sit on it or dump it, honestly I’m not one to try and save every beer if it sucks it gets dumped.
