Hello Everyone
I have a question regarding yeast harvesting. I'm a lazy individual, but I've been washing my yeast for at least three batches. I heard that you can directly pitch new wort into the yeast cake from another beer, and I have a kveik ale (Voss Kveik Yeast) currently fermenting (no dry hopping, I only whirpooled some azacca and mosaic). I don't want to wash my yeast because, well I'm lazy, my fridge is packed, my girlfriend hates when I have yeast in the fridge, and I prefer doing something the easy way if there's the possibility. My question is, what adverse effects could occur during this overpitching of yeast. I want to ferment an amber ale with it. If it works, I'm planning to do this two times, once with the amber and another with some other batch.
