I have some questions concerning washing and making a starter with lager yeast. I have washed ale yeast and have made starters with it and have had great success. I have washed two batches of lager yeast without much success. When I make the starter It don’t seem to work off like the ale yeast. I don’t know if the yeast is no good or if it is good and it just acts different. The yeast that I washed and made a starter with is SAFELAGER 34/70 . It is a dry lager yeast. When washing lager yeast does the trub not separate from the yeast? It didn’t seen to with this yeast. and when I made a starter it don't seem to work off like the ale yeast. Can any one help? I would like to wash my lager yeast and reuse it a few times if I can.
Thanks,
