Dirty yeast

[Nicks90]

yes - in the fridge it goes in to a dormant state and can last a lot longer.
And if you are careful, you wont get much trub in it. After bottling your beer, just give the FV a gentle swirl to lift in to suspension the top layer of yeast from the trub and then gently pour it in to your bottles. The vast majority of the trub will remain compacted at the bottom of the FV.
Generally once i've put a cap on it and put it in the fridge for a few days, its fully settled in the bottle and i get about 2" grey trub at the bottom, 1-2" of milky white yeast in the middle and about 2-3" of beer on top.

What this, FV of which you speak?

Haven't used one for years. Ferment in kettle me. There is defo going to be trub in it

Don't think it will be a problem though.

Well here goes.

4 bottles of dirty yeast slurry have be sealed and popped in the fridge.

Resisted the temptation to prime them.

I will make bread from at least a couple of these. Really hope this works well, as it is absolutely no hassle and is an almost perpetual supply.. And I use quite a bit of yeast.
