has anyone tried using a yeast cake from a secondary with nottingham yeast? I have heard that there is more of a risk of contamination reusing dry yeast.

I believe it. I have used it and from what I have seen it reproduces faster then the other yest I have used. I like the stuff.orfy said:Nope, you have it right!
There must of been around 50 - 100 times the required amount of yeast cells. If not 1000's
killian said:orfy do you do this often? 20 hrs sound great what where your gravities?
killian said:you pitched on nottingham cake and finished to target final gravity in 20 hours? I have to be misunderstanding this.
attitude said:This is a little off topic,Not far though. What about this:
I brewed an Altbier with Wyeast 1007 on sunday. In a week i will be brewing an Amber beer that called for Wyeast 1007.
Heres my question: Would it be okay to repitch on the yeast cake? and if so,Do i just leave a little of wort from the first beer and leave in my primary, then when i brew ,just repitch my new wort onto the yeast cake?
hope you all can follow this
You guys weren't kidding pitched wort on top of yeast cake, 2 Hours later bubbles, bubbles , and more bubbles
