Hello,
Just finished an Irish stout and I've ordered enough ingredients to do another stout and a red (beer prices went up here). Anyways, I didn't even consider it when I bought my ingredients but I have a pack of Nottingham for both batches, but I was considering bottling and brewing tonight and repitching the stout right onto the former stouts yeast cake.
I know this is not all too uncommon, but I just wanted to get the ok that this is not a bad idea. First stouts O.G. was 1.046 and it finished at 1.011, the next one I'm upping the roasted barley from 1lb to 1.75lbs and thinking about adding a half pound to a pound of corn sugar to up the ABV. This one is going to age until St. Paddy's day. Anyways with the extra fermentables is pitching onto the yeast cake still ok?
