I've read a lot of posts on Yeast Washing, as well as exploring some other sites. I have the 1084 Wyeast from the Imperial Stout's primary carboy in the fridge. It's been there for about two weeks. It has separated into a lot of sludge and a little liquid on top.
I plan on dumping the liquid on top, adding water, and shaking it up, like I've read to do. But here's what concerns me. They say to wait for it to settle out, and dump the water off the sludge, and save the water. So, my question is, do the other things you don't want in there settle to the bottom faster than yeast, or did I just read this wrong, and you want to save the sludge, which seems right to me.
