Reuse yeast

[pittsy]

Don't know about wines yeasts but don't use sugar for starters etc for beer yeasts use dme or saved beer wort otherwise it changes the yeast into doing other things (i hear) :

sorry , i come from a wine making back ground with only three AG brews below the belt, several hundred kits, but you get a fresh yeast with every tin so never botherd.

all i would have to do is just replace the white sugar with a simple wort instead, maybe even go as far as buying a cheap can or bottle of it just for yeasts how about dried malt extract or liquid extract from a ten pound kit tin

as for the yeast acting differently with different sugars, can anyone back this up with a credible link to a yeast site or proven back ups, sounds a little far fetched but it could be true i know nothing of beer yeasts or lager yeasts
