Finally I've got a homemade stir plate, it works perfect with my 2 liter starter flask (after loosing my first 15 gallon batch...). My starter with wyeast weihenstephan 3068 got very active within 24 hours and I pitched it yesterday in my 10 gallon batch. The German wheat beer should be ready for kegging in a couple of days.

Here is my question:
If I prepare my next batch at the time of kegging, could I use the yeast for my new batch?
I have a 15 gallon conical fermenter and use the upper valve to get the beer out while the bottom of the fermenter is still full with yeast.
Thank you for your help – have a nice day - Achilles
 
Yeah, that will be fine. Some people will recommend you wash the yeat and/or do a yeast starter in-between, but you can directly re-pitch if you want.
