So I thought of this while perusing the Internet and I couldn't seem to find a whole lot of info. Maybe I can get some answers here.
So instead of washing yeast from a full batch of beer and going through that whole process, why not just get a fresh pack or vial of yeast and make a starter then split that starter up into vials or whatever container for future use. Then obviously store them in a fridge, but then when your ready to brew, pull one out make a starter and your off.
I would just go with the general rule from wyeast and mr malt of 4.5 billion in 1 mL of yeast solids. Then I can go from there as far as how much yeast I need for a particular batch.
So is this something that would work or am I way off base here? Thanks guys.
