So...I took my first shot at re-using yeast slurry a few weeks back. Things seemed to go fine for the first 2 days, but then the krauesen went and dropped back in before a full 3 days.
I thought, maybe I underpitched. But I decided to give it a little while to do its thing.
On day 10, I took a hydrometer reading. 1.021. OG was 1.046. Well, maybe it's just taking a while.
I went out of town for a few days. Came back on day 14...1.021 again.
So...obviously I've waited a little long on this, but is it possible to pitch a little more yeast at this point? And if it is possible, what are the downsides?
And how do I figure out if I pitched enough yeast slurry in the first place?
