Yeast left behind from the racking

[Hannibal]

This quote is from an older thread "Re-using yeast" posted Oct 05, 2009:

If you ferment in 5 gallon carboys and rack your mash, the yeast left behind from the racking can be refrigerated. It will settle out into two layers. There will be plenty of dormant cells to start a new fermentation. Also, this gunk, when boiled to burst the cells, makes a good yeast nutrient. Since they are cannibals but like their food cooked....

My question is if the leftover yeast is boiled for use as a nutrient, how much nutrient would this supply to a new wash and how much extra nutrient would need to be supplied?

Do many people do this and would it be suitable to boil the leftover yeast with the sugar when inverting it?

Thanks

I do it.

I do it to. I save a pint to a quart of yeast to re pitch and use the rest as nutrients.

Edit. HEHE 707 the devils number.

Thanks for that, it is nice to know that I might be on the right track.

I'm runnung a Birdwatchers wash ATM, would the leftover yeast from that be OK.

I save a cup from each run to start the next (for my neutral sugar washes). I have a concoction of bakers yeast/ec-118/turbo. It works good, and I think every generation makes it smarter. It is a yeast monster of sorts.... As kiwi would call it

I don't know about the turbo, but EC 1118 is a "killer" strain ,that is to say it kills other yeast, then it has the ferment all it to its self

Did not know that.

Son, you are a national treasure.

Damn lucky to be here we are.

Yep that strain is a monster. Most yeast strains will fight and only one will survive but the 1118 strain wins against most all yeast. It even beats out a lot of wild strains.

Baker's yeast is always toast in the first round...
