I have not been able to find any answer on here or by listening to the brewing network. I want to brew an American Pale Ale, then an American Amber Ale, and then an American Brown Ale. All three will use Wyeast 1056 to ferment with.
The process I have imagined, would be to cold crash for a few days, transfer beer from carboy into keg leaving the yeast cake behind, let yeast cake warm up to pitching temp, transfer wort onto yeast cake at pitching temp. And repeat this for each batch, using the same carboy three times in a row.
Do you see a problem with this process?
Can I make one, and then pitch the next on top of the yeast cake, and then the third the same way?
Should I not use the same carboy, will it be dirty or unsanitary for the second and third batch?
If I dry hop, will that cause problems?
