@Denny, when you save and re-pitch the trub, are you saving in pint? or quart jars? (and what size batch?)

I do 5 gallon batches.  I've cleaned/saved/re-vitalized and re-pitched yeast...sure would be a lot nicer to just re-pitch some trub.

I use half gal. plastic tubs with snap on lids.  I learned after picking glass out of my fridge how much safer they are than jars.  I had a bunch of them around anyway from the days I bought bulk extract from my LHBS.
