... so I'm just finishing up a lager, and planning on brewing another lager immediately afterwards. The beers use the same yeast, feature saaz hops (although the second also has Hallertau as well) ....
I had a whole slew of ball jars I can use for washing, and also wondering why I shouldn't just pitch right onto the original cake.
I'm flexible here, in that I can brew and bottle on the same day, or put brew day off a week and wash/re-pitch in the time.
The washing appeals to me because $12 of yeast felt like a lot and I am a penny pincher. Just pitching onto the old cake appeals to me because it feels easy and I am a path of least resistance kinda guy. I'm a wee bit torn.
I guess I should mention this is in a carboy so I can't really scoop out some of the old cake and do both.
