karlos_1984 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I harvested some CCA yeast from my latest batch of pale ale. It was left to settle in a large jar. Once it settled I poured off the water and filled 2 X mason jars. The 1st jar filled was pretty clean. I didn't expect to have enough for a second jar but I did, so in it went. The second jar looks to have some trub transferred into it. I put it in the fridge to settle but it looks like the trub is on top of the yeast. Would this second jar be still useable or should I just turf it? This strain of CCA yeast has been used in 2 batches previous to the one I've just done too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It's probably fine. Lots of brewers just scoop out some of the cake from the fermenter and pitch it into another batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthog Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I just swirl up the trub with 5mm of beer over the top and pour it through the FV tap into a sanitised PET bottle. Cap it and place in fridge. It settles down to around half clear liquid on top and half trub with about a third of the trub lighter yeast material.
