yeast re using and changing flavours

[pittsy]

I have just done a weissbier using wlp300 yeast which i have saved to do in another brew , i was thinking of doing a weissbier with orange peel and my question is if i use the wlp300 yeast and collect it afterwards will it have an orange flavour in it so using it a 3rd time will chance the original flavour or will the yeast remain the same as brew no 1 ? i would of thought it will change is this so ?

I think if you wash the yeast (like this http://www.donosborn.com/homebrew/yeast ... st_way.htm ) it shouldn't carry too much of the flavour over.

I have never reused a yeast from a stout in a paler beer because it can carry over some of the flavour. But I suppose it depends on how well it is washed and how much of it you re use, if you are using a yeast cake then you will probably have problems if you are uing a small amount to make a started then that may be ok (plus you could have a taste of the fermented wort from the starter to see if it is ok)
