So let's say (purely hypothetically of course... ) that I want to brew more hefeweizen and I have a recently bottled batch, but don't want to spend the money for another smack pack of weihenstephan ninja-yeast... How to Brew says you need a "1 or 1.5 quart starter for a moderate gravity beer." Well, I figure a fresh hefeweizen is a decent starter, right? And a quart is what, about 3 12 oz bottles? Any reason why just dumping a few bottles in my new wort shouldn't work? I'll (again purely hypothetically...) have 3 gallons of ~1.050 wort.
