That was just a US05, it costs us $6-$8 a packet here. I do it twice usually, which means I could get 7 uses. 1 does 2 and that 2 does 2 each. But you could do more if you are very careful. I wouldn't go over 3 washes, but technically, if all conditions are perfect in washing and brewing, you could go about 10 times before you'd have to start worrying about mutation.
depends how you do it, if just sitting on the bench, I'd leave it overnight, but process can be hurried along by sitting the jars in some cold water, maybe an hour or two depending on cold water temp
Would you recommend siphoning off the beer from the top of the yeast? Then siphon off the yeast itself after cleaning the siphon. To get a cleaner sample of yeast. Thanks for the video, It was very instructional.
That fermenter is the newest design Coopers have out, they come in a kit for around $100,which contains the fermenter, 30 PET bottles a beer kit and some other things. I can't put a link here but google diybeer. Check the larger supermarkets/stores I got mine on sale for $55 Cheerz
Hey, was wondering, you say with your yeast on brew day you tip a bit into the wort. For 23l roughly how much yeast you tipping in? I mean after a week or so in the fridge after tiping off the water how much would you pour in? I realise it is different evry time but ballpark figure. Cheers and great video
If you wanted could you just bottle the top layer off of the first washing stage? I'd imagine it would just be watered down a bit but it might still be decent.
Question about doing lager yeast. Should there still be obvious layers between the yeast and trub? Right now I'm not seeing it. 1st rinse left in fridge (@ 4.5C) for 24 hours. Beer/water on top. Then a consistent white layer right to the bottom.
You might not have much trub, lager yeast shouldn't be any different. Trub usually isn't white so it's probably yeast. Some will shake it up and just let settle for 20 or 30 mins, that lets the trub drop but the yeast will be in suspension in the water still. So they keep that bit.
I used the whole lot, probably dont need too. I don't often wash yeast these days. I find it much cleaner and easier to buy a yeast, make a large starter and then use half in a brew and store the other half in the fridge till the next brew and start all over again, but don't let that stop you having a go at this! Cheers mate!
Thanks mate, on my home brew Thursday I'm trying to recycle my cider yeast and will try this method. I just bottled the last 3 mix up the last capped them and put in the fridge. What happens if you get a bit of trubb in there?
When you tip the water off before pitching the washed yeast into your wort are you supposed to put some cooled boiled water in the jar to mix up the yeast and make it easier to pour? Or will it pour out easy enough without the addition of more water?
You can do that if you like or you just leave a small bit of what is already in the jar. Sort of depends how compact the yeast is in the bottom as to how much you need, you will get an idea when tipping the water off the top as to how much movement is in the yeast cake, does that make sense? Cheers!
I can't remember off the top of my head, I'm in hospital at the moment and have just got some internet for 5 mins... but if you use Mr.Maltys yeast calculator with the 'slurry' tab it will give you a rough idea. Judging it correctly at home is hard unless you use a microscope and have patience :) I'll try and remember when I get out of this place to check on my notes. Cheers mate! www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html
This was a perfect video! I have read how to do this, but wasn't sure about trying it until I saw your video. How long does it usually take to cool the 1L jar from boiling to room temperature?
stupid question time: if that top layer is beer why not drink it? i'm guessing it's probably funky and not worth drinking but i'm curious so i figured i'd ask ;)
Well you could drink it, but its watered down buy the water you add, so it would b more like beer flavoured water. Hmm maybe that isn't a bad thing? hahaha Cheers
ha i could see that being a good idea if in case you accidentally ended up with something higher gravity than you wanted ;) but yea i get your point watered down beer flavor is the reason i never touch buttwiper -cheers :D
+Bert T. I've heard people say 2 weeks, others have said up to 3 months. My opinion is to just use it as soon as possible. If you are a home brewer, it probably isn't going to sit in the fridge that long. LOL :) Also, the yeast you harvest would be the same as the one you started with, so if the beer you are making requires something totally different, don't use it.
+Brian M Yeah, depends a lot on how clean you are with the process, to be honest these days I'd rather make a big starter before brewing, split that into 2 and store half in the fridge, pitch the other half. Washing is still a practice which is good to know in certain circumstances, but when you are brewing all grain and taking 6 hours to do it sometimes using washed yeast is a worry, not that I've had any issues, but there is always a chance of infection. Extract it didnt bother me if I lost a batch, but I never did any way. Cheers!
Hi nice one Gash. Have you ever washed a lager yeast e.g. a safelager s-23. I am thinking of doing this method but worried about the temperature of the water-yeast. Will be brewing a Czech Pilsener next week with the s-23. Then going to try a Cooper Lager after. Was going to just try and pitch the brew on top of trube but remembered this video. May as well try for 3 lagers. Cheers!
I don't see any problem, if room temp is too warm just do all steps refrigerated, most of this was done a fridge temps except for the first step, but I wasn't cold crashing at this stage. Now days I cold crash everything, so it would all be done with boiled then refrigerated water. Cheers!
why only use it a few times? cant you use it infinite? the brewery i my town use their ale yest over and over again...i think they got it from another brewery that has used the same yeast for like 50+ years
A brewery situation is very different from the home brew situation. Sanitation is usually a whole lot better for one. They also use various methods to check the yeast is still ok via microscopes and scientific testing. I would think as most breweries do, they would have a yeast bank, and have kept a healthy batch of yeast that they use to propagate yeast each time to use in their beers, I highly doubt they would be washing and reusing yeast. Most recommend 10 uses at the maximum as yeast will mutate, some times it mutates in a good way and some times not, but it will change the beer either way. So yes they might be using the same yeast they were given but they go about things in a very different method to this, they wouldn't be doing it in their kitchen sink at home :) . Saying that you might be very lucky and use the same yeast over and over again for years but the more times you use it the greater the risk of off flavours or mutated yeast, most home brewers don't want to take that risk with a batch of beer. Thanks for the feedback! Cheers mate!
+Gash Slugg how do breweries maintain their yeast without washing it? you said that they have a batch, but how do their maintain that good batch without having it diminish into nothing and manage to be able yup use it for over 50years?how is brewer yeast traditionally preserved and cultures in the past ? (curiosity question, I'm not a brewer)
+Finnic They do it a few ways, but most breweries will get fresh yeast now and then. Others will have a yeast bank where they store tiny colonies on petri dishes etc, and are much more professional in cleanliness and sanitation then most of us can do at home, then build these up when ever they need a new batch, they also use microscopes to identify healthy yeast from old tired and mutated yeast. In the past a lot of it was a pray for the best hahaha but they might make a few very small batches and smell and test each one and use the best tasting one, most professional breweries these days don't want to take the risk of ruining a batch of expensive beer, so they use new yeast starters each time, or reuse only a couple of times.
+Gash Slugg Go back further and most of the batches of beer would not of tasted the same, wild yeasts etc and open fermentation in monasteries and the like, the beers would have slightly different characteristics each time.
Yes you can! Though it's cleaner and easier to build a starter with fresh yeast, pitch most of it into your batch and save a bit for your next starter. Cheers!
Hi Gash, Do you still stand by this method of yeast washing? I just did a Cider using Champagne yeast and want to use it again. Other thing i'm considering is just pouring fresh apple juice on top of the stuff left in the fermenter.
BrooklandBackyardBrewery Pete This method is ok. Although I'd much rather do a big starter and split it pitch some and keep some. In your case yes you could just do what you suggest or use a clean fermenter and use a sanitized cup or spoon and scoop some out, be less junk in the fermenter then, don't need much. Cheers!
Nice video. Sometimes I'll use a santizied turkey baster thing and siphon off the top beer, just to keep things a little less messy. By the way I really like your fermenter, looks like 20L? Where did you get it from because I would definitely like to use that instead of a damn bucket..
Really depends what you do with it, if you made starters and were careful would could get 6 or more brews very easily, I used to just get 2 or 3, I rarely do it any more, too lazy lol.
Yes it was US05. This method works and is great, but if you're prepared in advance its good to make a starter ad the use most of it in your brew, and keep some in the fridge, next time make a starter from that and continue on, saves the washing process and you'll have a cleaner yeast. Cheers!
Sweet as! So you would likely get around 3 X Yeast batches from this (approx) - And you would recommend always doing a yeast starter (1L -2L) to get the yeast going and active before pitching in new wort? Appreciate it!
yeah get 3x easy, a quick starter is good especially if its been in the fridge for more than a few weeks, but its good just to build the yeast so you have enough to use and a bit to save.
Never do this to save money. ( Do Not Reuse Yeast !! ) When you are ready to brew make a yeast starter split into 3rds pitch 1 and put the other two in the refrigerator. No need to wash or clean yeast.( will last 3 months in refrigerator ) or drain off beer and add sanitized water then freeze.( will last 2 years + ) P.S. Always make a yeast starter when you brew !!
+Sabbyne Lewis What ever is easier! To be honest I don't wash yeast anymore, I'd much rather make a large starter pitch half of it and then store the rest in the fridge till next brew. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
I really don't understand the concept of going to all the trouble to wash and reuse yeast, it's not like yeast is expensive in the first place.. Just buy new yeast
this video is 10 years old.. fresh yeast is much easier to get these days, so i agree with you, unless i got no money, but id do a starter and split it... But as a content maker, if I just said theres one way to do everything, one it'd make me a fool and two I'd run out of content very fast! I wouldnt bother rinsing yeast I'd just scoop a dirty bit from the bottom of the fermenter and pitch it, but many wouldn't.. Have a great week mate, hope you and your family are well! Cheers!
just listening to you builds my confidence, you are relaxed and capable
Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Those jars were just picked up at a local shopping centre 'BigW' , Mason Jars work just as well too.
The cheapest decent yeast we get in Australia is US05 which is $6-$7 for an 11g packet. The liquid yeasts are around $12 for one small packet.
depends how you do it, if just sitting on the bench, I'd leave it overnight, but process can be hurried along by sitting the jars in some cold water, maybe an hour or two depending on cold water temp
Mate, that's the best vid on this I've seen so far. Keep the instructionals coming
Thanks mate , cheers!
Hi Gash, I'll give it a try and let you know how it turns out. Should only be ten more days till my brew is ready to transfer. I give it a shot then.
Would you recommend siphoning off the beer from the top of the yeast? Then siphon off the yeast itself after cleaning the siphon. To get a cleaner sample of yeast.
Thanks for the video,
It was very instructional.
Another great video, mate. Doing this for the first time this morning following your process. Cheers!
Graham Budd Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!

If you wanted could you just bottle the top layer off of the first washing stage? I'd imagine it would just be watered down a bit but it might still be decent.
Sure, you don't have to wash it all if you don't want too! Cheers mate!

I find it much cleaner and easier to buy a yeast, make a large starter and then use half in a brew and store the other half in the fridge till the next brew and start all over again, but don't let that stop you having a go at this!

Quick tip, you dont need to boil them to sterilaze. Put them in the oven on 100C.
G'day Terry, I have never used a siphon, they arent very popular in Australia at all, but I think that would work!
Exactly the info I was after. Cheers mate!
you can also buy the beer...
Have you ever had a jar burst open? Seems like the yeast could generate pressure if the lid is airtight
no I havent, they are pretty tough jars, but besides that they are kept in the fridge so the yeast is dormant. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing that with us, you make it look easy. I'll certainly give this ago. Where did you get the jars from?

G'day Gash, mate can you put the glassware in a dishwasher and boil up the water separately?
Yeah you could! Cheers!
Thanks Mate. Best vid I've seen on Yeast washing.
Murray K Cheers Murray, and thanks for watching!
Love the tutorial on saving the yeast, was certainly looking for a way to save on cost thanks, but do you store this in fridge after or leave it out?
Store it in the fridge! Cheers!
Solid! Any idea what the cell count is at the end? So i can gate starter vs. not.

Great tip mate,i will try this out.Good stuff.

Hi can you wash and reuse a dry yeast such as us 05 or 34/70 yeast
Yes you can! Though it's cleaner and easier to build a starter with fresh yeast, pitch most of it into your batch and save a bit for your next starter. Cheers!
can you wash the yeast if you did a big dry hop or does the left over hops damage the yeast?
Where did you get the clear plastic fermenter, and how much did it cost?
Cheers!
How much beer you can ferment with one of those jugs of recycled yeast?
thanks
If the yeast was recently washed and harvested , do you really need to make a starter or can u pitch as is ?
Hi Gash, Do you still stand by this method of yeast washing? I just did a Cider using Champagne yeast and want to use it again. Other thing i'm considering is just pouring fresh apple juice on top of the stuff left in the fermenter.

One is usually plenty! Cheers!
Cheers mate!
little bit of trub wont matter.
Money saver for sure , ill be giving that a crack on my next one thanks .

It can brew 27L maybe even more, its the newer Coopers fermenter, try a google search for Coopers DIY. Cheers!
Hi there,
Thx for the vid!! I have a question, can i wash dired yeast? Will be a good quality for the next batch?
+Aedob4 you can wash any yeast! If you've treated it nicely during the ferment it will be fine for another batch! Cheers!
cheers big ears. so how many batches from that 500ml? 2?3?
Really depends what you do with it, if you made starters and were careful would could get 6 or more brews very easily, I used to just get 2 or 3, I rarely do it any more, too lazy lol.
And.... What about the trub in bottom?..
No Worries!
hey mate, great Vid! Did I hear you used Safale US.05? Did you get this from a dry yeast? cheers

one jar easy do 5 gallon
even more

seems like way too much effort when u can go buy a 600 gram bag of brewing yeast for 10 bucks
washing seems useless to me. i rather throw the treb in the next batch
I'd rather neither, build a starter, use some , save some, then its fresh and super clean. People wanted to see this years ago so I did it! Cheers!
