Reusing Yeast cake question

I am going to brew an Amber Ale and was going to use the IPA yeast cake that I am going to rack that same day. Should I wash they yeast first? My concern is the high IBU from the IPA might carry over to the Amber Ale.

I have read up on washing yeast, but on my first attempt I couldn't tell when to pour off the liquid...after 15 minutes it looked like nothing had settled out. Perhaps Bobby_M could do a video on this :rockin: this seems like one of those things that once you see it, it all makes sense.

Your concern is the hop bitterness transferring to the next brew?

You don't have that much liquid left in there to worry about it. Do you?

Go ahead use it.

And learn how to wash...
