Why use the same yeast ? A new pack of the same one would be what ? a dollar or two ?I have a mead in the primary right now and I want to make another with the same yeast cake. I'd like to wait a little longer...it's been 1.5 months.
Thanks

Just anecdotally, some of the people who post on the local wine site here, have made large starters, then split it up, half in the batch they're making and the other half in plastic bottles in the freezer, then they just get one out, defrost it and add it to new starter media to make a new large starter etc etc.thats two out of two....new yeast it is. Thanks folks.

I have never done a starter for my meads, and have never reused a yeast cake, however, I would ask for what purpose do you want to do this?
