So I made a 5 gal batch of pale ale a few weeks ago, I harvested the yeast cake from my fermenting bucket, leaving behind most of the trub. I added some un-fermented wort I had stored in the fridge (from the same batch, just the last runnings from the mash tun that I boiled for an hour separately with no hops).
I put this in a sanitized 2 liter plastic soda bottle, and stored it in the fridge. Is this yeast viable? will it still work for another batch of the same pale ale? how much should I use on another 5 gal batch? the whole thing?
Thanks for your input, cooking maybe this sunday and want to know if I can use this yeast or just get a new vial.
Thanks again.
