First off thanks to Nick for a job well done last night.
Also here is another good technique I was reading about. It will produce a lower amount of end product but the yeast will be as clean as possible, check it out:

That is a great tutorial, I am going to start washing this way.
Thanks for the info...

so, I'm in the position of needing some fresh neutral ale yeast slurry (us o5, or california, american ale), was there any salvaged in last night's class? Me and Kyle need a small amount to bottle condition some beer from the Bourbon County barrel for a contest. LMK
last nights was a London ESB yeast
...igz...
is there any that we could use? Just a tablespoon would be good.
nice post...never thought of doing it this way
@Daniel, there were 4 jars, Pete got one already. Ask Nick Dolan about the other 3. they are probably in the fridge.

nm just used champagne yeast
Sorry I missed the workshop (took my students to a Latin competition that night)! I hope it went well!
How many people showed?
Was my first time there, brought my buddy Rob with. I think 8 total?
