Harvesting yeast from Star-San

[bsegroves]

I recently hooked up a blowoff tube to a Witbier that I am fermenting using a gallon water jug half full of Star-San.
It is full of yeast now and I am wondering if I could decant and harvest it.
Has anyone tried this?

cheers,

The star San would kill the yeast wouldn't it?

I don't know. That's what I am trying to find out.
I guess at least it would be sterile .

Some StarSan gets in your beer, yeast is fine. Some yeast gets in your StarSan, yeast not fine. Especially for the extended period.

Ok that makes sense.
Every time that I rig a blowoff tube I get yeast and I wish that I had prepped for it.
Just wishful thinking. I'll think ahead next time.
Thanks for the replies.

Dude check this thread out (http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12393). Scott (I think?) has a great video of how to solve this problem you're havin'. I tip my hat to him for his ingenuity.

PS... is Brannon Polo Asado???!!!
