I'm new to harvesting yeast. I ferment in 1/2 barrel commercial kegs.
When I transfer to my cornies I get some sediment that I figure is yeast. And I get what I'm sure is yeast from each corny when I tap them.
The thing is, I find that in each case a bunch is left in all three kegs.
Were is the best place to harvest from? And how much starter to get it ready for the next pitch?
How would I know if I have enough to pitch after I do a starter?
