I would like some help identifying the different parts of my yeast harvest and knowing what part is the viable part to be used for my next batch. See the picture below. This is Wyeast 2124 from a 10 gallon batch, first generation. I poured boiled and chilled water into the carboys, shook them up, and then poured the slurry into my big jar and let it settle overnight in the fridge. The picture shows how it has settled out in the jar. It appears to have 4 layers (5 if you include the water on top). From bottom to top I have:
1. Thin, dark layer
2. Thick, light-colored layer
3. Somewhat darker light-colored layer
4. Thin, light-colored layer
5. Water layer
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
