A few weeks ago I brewed a 1.053 or so fat tire clone with american ale II
on monday, I will be brewing a similar gravity IPA and would like to use the yeast cake to pitch directly onto. Im not worried about off flavors from the other beer, but im curious on the method. If I rack the current beer to secondary tonight or tomorrow, can the cake sit in the carboy with just a little liquid on top of it for a few days? It will be kept at around 64*F. If not, ill wash the yeast as I normally do, but I'd like to avoid it if possible and just rack the new beer right on top.
thanks!
