I just wanted to share my experience on re-using an old yeast cake.. Bottling day and brew day happen to land on the same day, so I figured I would try re-using the yeast cake from my Sierra nevada clone that I just bottled...
I decantered off all the old beer and poured the wort directly on the old yeast cake, and then proceded to oxyngenate. I had fermentation within 2 hours and it was "fast and furious"...
Starting gravity 1.062 final gravity 1.009 very, very ipressive and probably the best fermentation I have had to date..
I can't wait to see how te finished product tastes..
Happy Brewing,
Frank
