Absolutely. Pitching liquid yeast direct from the fridge is fine, too.

There is approx 20 oz of bottom-cropped S-23 yeast saved in fridge.
The saved yeast came from a batch using two packs of S-23,
pitched into 5 gallons 1.038 OG wort.

Next batch will be about the same, 5 gallons, 1.038 OG.

When ready to use the yeast what would you do ?
Take saved yeast out of fridge, scoop out about half,  and toss directly in wort  ?

Thanks

That's what I'd do and have done, assuming it's not much older than about 3 weeks

Thanks, that's what I'll do, yeast is 5 days old from cropping.
Will try to get middle portion of it the best I can.
Not saving crop for another batch, I have itchy fingers
to pitch my Novalager.

Cheers

Pitched early this morning, and it's already beginning to create an initial foam layer.
Worked as advertised.

Thanks
