Anybody brewed a batch from a few days ago and drain from the fermenter to use that yeast as a starter for the next batch? I have two speidel 16 gallon fermenters and I just filled one of them up last night with a fresh brewed cream ale using the same yeast that I use in my blonde. I am going out of town for a couple of weeks this weekend and would like to brew another batch so I'll have 20 gallons of brew ready for me when I get back. The only problem is that I am out of yeast. Anybody do this? I was thinking about draining 2 L of fresh yeast to use as a starter for the next 10 gallon batch.
