So I’ve been brewing on and off for the past 9 years and for awhile I’ve been interested in reusing yeast but I’ve never actually done it.
For the first time today I reused an entire yeast cake and I’m pretty excited. During my brew day I kegged a batch that was in my fermenter, then cooled my wort down to the exact temperature that the previous batch was to not shock the yeast. Before I was even finished cleaning my brewing equipment there were signs of visible fermentation.
I know some people will say that was over pitching, and that may be true, but I didn’t want to overthink it too much my first time. Was just excited and wanted to share with the community that is always giving me new ideas.
