hi all, if i put all yeast from bottles and all trub in vessel ,add some nutrient and sugar and lots of shaking, can i then just harvest yeast from top, and keep going until no more rises, seems easy ? cheers
Re: can i do this, is it better
Quick answer: Yes
Many of us take the yeast from dregs of Proper Job or 1845 bottled beer, add to wort and let it grow for a couple of days on a stir plate, or shaking - then pitch When fermenting, collect some yeast from the krausen in a sanitised bottle (250ml or more) on about day 4 of a ferment, keep it in the fridge, pitch in the next brew Or collect some trub at the end, store in a bottle in the fridge until ready I've done all three, all worked just fine.
