I have pitched my starter (White Labs Abbey Ale Yeast, WLP530) into my 1.066OG beer. I am thinking of brewing another batch of the beer and raking off the first into secondary and pitching the new brew strait onto the yeast cake (is that its name?) as it is in the fermenter. Is that a good idea or should I do something beforehand, and what should that be?
Also I am fermenting in my basement due to the high temperature in the house. The temperature in the basement is around 64 to 68 Fahrenheit and 72to 75 Fahrenheit in the rest of the house. Should I keep my beer fermenting at the lower temperature for longer or increase to quicken the fermentation?
Thanks for your help,
Dave
