In the process of brewing this weekend I need to move beer that I brewed three weeks ago from the secondary to Kegs. It occurred to me that since both beers have been brewed with the same yeast, that i could possibly use the trub on the bottom of the secondary to pitch the beer I am brewing tomorrow.

Any thoughts?

I've done it. It works. I don't recommend doing it after high gravity, or more than 2 times without washing the trub to seperate out the hop/protein/dead yeast.
