Maybe this is a dumb question, I know people empty barrels all the time and dump in new wort or fermented wort but...
I transferred a sort of hybrid smoked/english IPA/old ale to secondary and added a packet of Roseleare about 9 months ago. It has reached terminal gravity and has a nice faint sourness (went from about 1.017 to 1.009 on the Roseleare, never had a real pellicle). I want to bottle it this weekend and was planning on brewing a Flanders Red to put directly into this newly empty carboy. Is this kosher with wild blends? Should I aerate? It is a 5 gallon carboy, should i expect a big krausen with Roseleare as a primary yeast...i.e. should I transfer the yeast to a larger carboy first?
Thanks!
