Oh, I guess it is the new batch that is not fermenting... As said wait or take a gravity reading or both.
Probably should have bben more clear on what i had done. Sorry. Ill try to explain better....after i racked my beer into secondary, i left a little bit of beer covering the yeast cake. I poured a new batch of beer right on top of that yeast cake. I put a blow off valve on it, as i was expecting it to take off and make a mess immediatly, as a friend of mine has been doing this with great results.

Yep, I've had beers that were overpitched ferment out overnight before. If it got warmer than about 68 degrees, it would go especially fast. I suspected that is what happened to you!
Now, for a new thought on why you may not want to do that again: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/why-not-pitch-your-yeast-cake-166221/
Hey thanks yooper! That was super helpful. Ok so if it is done, should i get it off that yeast yake now, or will it be ok in primary for a while longer?
