Good Day I have a yeast question about top cropping and how long can the yeast go
I us 05 most of the time for the ales I brew and 04 from time to time
I have been top cropping a couple of packs of yeast for a very long time and will more then likely start again fresh soon
but the question is this in the end how long can I keep harvesting the same yeast without problems?
I smell my yeast before using it, if it smells like fresh yeast then it's all good ?
I ferment at 64 - 65 F and my ales all taste clean
05 is cheap but why buy what I already have
thanks
