my method has been this: I bottle a batch, pour some sanitzed water onto the cake, swirl that up, then pour about half of the slurry into 2 sanitized jars. I then pitch that onto the new wort.
so made a batch of IPA, the yeast was reused s-04 yeast from a brown ale(the brown ale i used a new yeast packet). fermentation went off great. then i bottled the IPA yesterday. I poured about a liter of sanitized water into the carboy and did my process again. This brew is a 2 gallon test batch so i used a smaller jar and only pitched about 2/3's of it. no fermentation signs yet. its been about 20 hours. here is a pic of the leftover slurry, it smells like hops, im wondering if i didnt get much yeast out of the carboy since there was probably a ton of hop trub?
