After washing yeast and just canning up slurry in my beers a few times with mixed success I have come across this method; http://www.homebrewtalk.com/yeast-harvesting-novel-approach.html
Has anyone tried it with mead? If so what size of starter did you make? and how much honey?
I'm going to be making my first BOMM (and first mead) but have had to order the wyeast 1388 from the UK. It would be great if I could grow the yeast population for a couple of generations so as not have to pay shipping for future batches.
