Re using yeast after finings

BeerCat · May 2, 2017

My Lager yeast has soured and i don t have another sample. Tastes like vinegar as i unfortunately left it in the corner of a room and forgot to refrigerate it. Can i use a yeast cake that has finings mixed in with it? Was in secondary and probably not much in the FV. Something tells me its not the best idea and i should order more?

The finings will have already been used and just the yeast that shall be working as it's already fermented a previous batch so don't see why not.Scoop it out and make a starter and see how it works from there.

Cheers Jerry. I was unsure about finings in a starter causing it to flocc out. That will teach me to leave my starter out of the fridge.

I've re-used yeast a heap of times after fining with gelatin and had no problems.

Thanks mate good to know. I could not find much info when i searched. Luckily i just realised i had not racked this beer so i have more yeast than i thought.
