Subject: recycled yeast starter
|
i usually recycle my yeast by making a starter and then pouring some of
the starter back into the wl tube before i pitch the rest into my
batch. My question is will the amount of recycled yeast i gather with
this process be enough to make a large starter doubling what i would
normally have using a growler, 2/3 cups malt extract and 32oz of water?
or will i need to build it up using 1/3 cups and 16 oz of water and
doub it after that.
Thanks

I use this method, and go straight to a 2L starter with no problems. I
think you'll be fine.

The same question has been bouncing around my head since I just started
using the same method to save back some yeast.
Given the same volume/gravity of starter wort, does the amount of
initial yeast pitched in the starter affect the final cell count?

Maybe, but probably not enough that you really need to worry about it
much. IMO, the volume of the starter is more important.

Should be fine assuming good sanitation.
