Hmm, that's interesting. I always had better results after the first batch...so much so, I would ovten make a starter, then a 3 gallon batch as a large-format starter, just to harvest a large amount of yeast.
I spent years trying to solve the issues I had with beer, and at the time everyone in the homebrew scene was talking about yeast being the second most important thing behind sanitation. Being a Nurse, I am extra careful about sanitation, so that was never the issue. Turns out for me, it was the water that was more important than the yeast.
But before I could figure that out, I spent a few years doing all sorts of different practices regarding yeast, including learning how to plate them out in petri dishes and grow them up from single cells.
Once I turned my attention to water chemistry, everything changed.
