I would assume the same.I'm assuming they use a diff strain for their wit versus Rare Vos and the others. Does this sound correct?

I'd give each of the bottles a dose of starter wort and see if one or both get some activity. Then step up like previously discussed.Okay - I now have 2 fresh bottles of rare vos. I shall try again tomorrow.Should I pour the yeast of one into the other and repeat what I already did?

what's the thought process behind doing them separately instead of combining them?I'd give each of the bottles a dose of starter wort and see if one or both get some activity. Then step up like previously discussed.

One is sanitation. Less transferring of the yeast means less chance of infection. The other reason is because one bottle may be viable and the other may not, you don't want dead yeasties in your starter, or at least not too many.what's the thought process behind doing them separately instead of combining them?

Just to be clear - I save yeast by not using the entirety of my starters when I pitch into the wort.Since you intend on cycling the yeast through multiple brews I'd step it up a couple times to build up a good number of cells before doing the first brew regardless of OG. So yes, I'd recommend that. I think it won't make as much as a difference for your first beer but down the road it could mean you have more yeast to harvest for successive brews.
