Yeast Viability

[Paul Fraser]

I have a jar of yeast slurry which was washed and bottled in July. I plan to brew with it in 2 weeks time and will do a starter of prob 2L ish. Now on mrmalty do i put the harvest date as when i bottled the slurry or from when i do my starter? I imagine it's from when i do my starter but just want to check.

I'd go with when you bottled the slurry too, that's the age of the yeast that you're using

[Paul Fraser]

You're probably right. I was just thinking that after the starter there would be a lot of new yeast too.
