Just had to share this video today.

I racked a copper ale (SG 1.050) onto a cake that was made with WLP001 yeast I washed from a previous batch. This is my first time racking onto an intact cake. I racked the wort at 75* around midnight last night.
Seven hours later it's bubbling like I've never seen. It's throwing off so much heat that it's still at 75* even though the ambient temp is only 64*. I put it in my swamp cooler and it's leveling down slowly (I like to ferment the 001 a little on the cool side).
I think I may have to try to arrange my brewing pipeline a little more carefully so I can try this again.
