I racked a 23L lager yesterday that I had used wyeast 2206 bavarian in and kept the slurry and some wort and put them in a 2Lt pet bottle in the fridge. There seems to be approx 3/4 litre slurry and 1 lt of wort.
Can I use this again and how do I go about working out how much to pitch.
NB The lager was fermented too warm 12-18C although the finished product tastes great.
Saving yeast slurry
I've done this recently with lager yeast, it worked really well. I just kept the yeast in a kilner jar in the fridge for a couple of days.
I ended up pitching 3/4 of what I collected, use the calculator here to get an idea : http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html
There's a re-pitching from slurry tab. It's going to be in the region of 200ml per 5 gallons for lager.
