I just kegged about 5 gallons of Edworts Apfelwein. I'm going to rack on top of the cake with a batch of skeeter pee because I heard problems with it getting started. Will it be ok if I leave the cake in the fermenter until Monday? It probably has 5-10oz of Apfelwein on top of it and airlock is still in place.
Keeping the yeast cake....

I would tend to believe that if it is covered with wort and has an airlock and the temps have been reasonable it would do fine. I would add a liter or so of plain sugar wort and allow the yeast to wake up a bit and stir it pretty aggressively before adding the full batch of new wort. I am a noob brewer but was going to school for Bio-engineering so I have a little bit of knowledge in the area. Hope this helps.
