Last Christmas, I brewed an experimental 5 gallon batch of beer. It's a hybrid lambic/quadruple that will be eventually aged on oak and cherries. Fermented with Roselare and dosed with Consecration, Supplication, and Drie Fonteinen dregs through out the year. As of right now, the beer is still sitting in the original carboy on the trub and cake.
I'm tempted to rack this beer out and rack another 5 gallons of new wort in right on top of the previous cake, made from the same recipe. Is this ill-advised? I know it's not ideal, but I'm curious if after a year the fresh wort would be enough to revive the yeast and bugs.
Thanks.
