Hi all. I harvest yeast normally if I get liquid yeast or if I am planing a brew with that style yeast soon. Normal just store in mason jars in my kegerator. Harvested a lager yeast last week. Was just looking it there and can see it is still active at the bottom of the jar. This is my first...

Went for it anyway what do you reckon four or five days before kegging

its already carbed up and is at serving temperature.. So I just need to put pipe on tap and fill it that way then stick cap on and should be grand.. The nitrogen is to give it a creamer head reduces size of co2 bubbles and also supposably adds body the same as when you serve stout with 70/30 mix
