If I do a good job of washing my Wyeast 2007, how many generations can I re-use it? I can't seem to find out how many times I can re-use a lager yeast as compared to an ale yeast.

Jamil and Chris White mention in there new yeast book that its best to only go about 3 generations with lager yeasts.

Great. That will give me enough lagers for awhile so I can brew something else.
Thanks Westco.
