That allowed me to utilize my new pressure cooker to sanitize jars for washing the yeast cake.
This was a dry yeast packet from one of the last beer kits I have bought. I didn't take much note of which company it was from, or yeast strain, my notes only said 'German Wheat'.
Well, now I have 4 'German Wheat' yeasts to use in the future. The process itself was simple enough, I'll be doing this again with the yeast from Ranger Danger, as well as Brown Turkey. I think I have just enough mason jars for those 3 yeast cakes. I may in the future just save two jars instead of the 4 I got out of the Dunkle.
With liquid yeasts from White Labs, or Wyeast running in the $6 - $8 range, this should be saving me a good portion of the cost of future brews.
