Afternoon all. Noob here with a question:
At the moment, have a 5 gal. ESB (OG 1.054) batch in my primary (bucket) since 10/29; planning on racking to secondary (glass carboy) on Sunday morning. Wanted to take advantage of some extra grain I have around AND the yeast cake from the primary, so was thinking of brewing another batch and re-pitching. Unfortunately, time is not on my side and won't be able to brew.
Can I rack, leave a bit of liquid on top of the cake and just put the whole bucket in a working & empty fridge for a week or two?
