reusing yeast

[idkid]

i brewed a batch last week and plan on brewing another batch of the same beer next week...once i rack to secondary, can i brew another batch and just pour it in over top of the yeast sediment from the first batch...of course i know i'd have to make sure the new batch is not too hot, but would this work...

Yep, go for it. No cleaning of fermentor necessary.

Just did that last night for the first time.
Both the same kind of beer, first batch did well and ended with a nice low gravity.
Second, which was pitched on top of the old yeast cake took off like it was going nuts. I had to put a blow off tube on after only 3 hours.

Good luck
