Yeast washing question

[jumbo_tron]

Hey guys I have an Amber ale fermenting right now, I used Wyeast 1056. I've never washed yeast before but I am thinking of washing this to use on biermunchers cream of three crops ale. As long as I am washing this and not just racking on top of the cake will I be ok as far as flavors are concerned. This is for a 5.5g batch btw if it matters.

If you wash the yeast, you can use it for anything. Even if you didn't wash the yeast, a few ounces of beer in a 5 gal batch isn't going to have that much impact.
