If you brew regularly, and especially if you like to use liquid yeast strains, you might want to consider reusing your yeast. As with everything in homebrewing, there is a long list of do’s and do-not’s, but in general, it’s pretty easy to decide if repitching on yeast will work for you.

Harvested Yeast
Just a quick shot of fermentation, about 24 hours after pitching the yeast. This yeast (Wyeast 1318-London Ale III) was donated by Black Bear Microbrew, a local brewery here in Orono, and is my first batch using his yeast. The quantity and vitality were great. Thanks again Tim!
Update: 52 hours after pitching, the Krausen head is begining to drop. I’ll post when fermentation is complete, and a F.G. can be taken.
2nd update: 96 hours after pitching, and yeast is still going! Down to a fine head of foam, but it hasn’t begun to clear yet…. amazing!
