I have no idea how to begin searching for an answer to this one, so sorry if I'm clogging the lines...
I sprung for some hefe yeast a few weks ago. As the first, standard batch was winding up it's stay in primary, I decided to brew a dunkel and drop it on the yeastcake (lees?) and make 2 batches from the same yeast. Of course, then I had the grand idea to do a 3rd batch, maybe cherry, but I digress.
As I keep pouring more and more beer into the same primary without cleaning, is there any reason I couldn't do the same with the secondary? I have the capacity to brew today, could start this afternoon, so it wouldn't pose much of a problem to get fresh wort into the primary, but I was wondering if it'd be difficult or problematic to simply move the beer from primary right into the secondary I'd just emptied of beer brewed with the same yeast.
Any thoughts?
