Storing yeast cake without beer on it?

rockgardenlove · Aug 23, 2011

Hi,
I bottled a beer 2-3 days ago and left the trub and yeast in the bucket. Is it still good to throw more wort on top of in a day or so?
Thanks!

SMELL IT.

You are taking a slight chance, but I got 19 batches from 1 such cake.

Dump at least 2/3 of the cake out or you will be overpitching.

No vinegary smell? I say pitch wort on it (cooled of course)
