Catch-22
Brewer
I don't do it every time, but I have washed yeast once I rack my beer to a secondary. After the beer sits in the secondary, more yeast settles out of suspension, and is evident when I then keg/bottle. Perhaps this is a stupid question, but can that yeast be harvested as well? It would stand to reason that it would be more "pure" and hardly any trub to contend with. Has anyone done this?
