• Posted in thread: Using actively fermenting beer as a starter? on 05-18-2013 at 09:58 PM
  It's called "top cropping" and it's a very good way to get healthy viable yeast. Just sanitize
  your spoon and scoop away. It shouldnt take too much yeast to ferment the next 10 gallons. I
  assume you h...

  Cool, thanks for the responses. I didn't think it would either, but I'm wrong a lot. Thanks!

  Random q, couldn't find anything on the interwebs: does the beer in the beer lines carbonate

  the same carb ...

  I wouldn't open it up every time to rouse it. If fermentation is slow, you want not fill the
  headspace and risk oxygenation issues. The 'scum' is just yeast. I wouldn't violently shake it,
  just swirl ...

  If you're trying to chase efficiency you could do more sparges, but in turn you'll have to boil
  longer to reach your target volume
