This gets me onto yeast growth and brewing performance. I have seen in the past that you fellows hate generalizations, but lets assume we have a typical 1.050 wort. And our starters are of the same level. We...

Repitching YeastFirst, my apologies for such a basic question, but in my research I have noticed that some people suggest reusing yeast by pitching wort over the existing trub/yeast in a primary fermenter immediately after racking the beer that had been on it into a secondary fermenter, or by harvesting some of that yeast to use with the new batch of wort. Other people, including Wyeast and/or White Labs and John Palmer provide information for washing yeast when taken from the primary fermenter before...

Question: Does the introduction of the yeast into the fermenter as the juice is filling the tank add value to other roles as well such as aeration, and does it accelerate the growth dynamics of the yeast? Would this be beneficial for smaller scale production in the ten to twenty...
