Ok so for my first time I try to harvest my yeast out of two batches.
One is s-05 out of blonde ale that had a very nice and big yeast cake and almost no trub. I have a big jar filled with a lot of second time washed yeast.
The second is s-04 out of pale ale which is still settling for the first time.
My questions are:
1. If it gets infected, do I see it? How?
2. Trub is critical if I pitch to a new batch?
3. Can I use it without a starter? Because I don't know how to do it and I have no equipment for it.
4. How much washed yeast I need to use? With and without a starter.
I'll upload picture tommorow when the s-04 settle down. Anyway the s-05 just looks too good. Looks like many many yeast in there with a huge layer of it and like a 1mm of trub
