I guess its not really pitching the yeast and its already in the fermenter. Going to try this for the first time. Here is the plan.
It's US-05 that has been working on BierMuncher's Blond Ale for about a week. I am going to try an AIPA next and wanted to pitch it onto this yeast cake.
Fermentor is sanitary and sitting at ~655F, so my plan was to:
1. cold crash the Blond Ale then transfer to seconday (keg in this case)
2. Put the sanitized cap back on after racking the blond.
3. allow yeast cake to warm up to room temp while I mash/boil the AIPA
4. Cool the AIPA wort as normal and rack from BK to fermenter on top of the yeast.
Any problems with this? Should I cold crash the blond after racking (seems like I would have to rack again and I would like to avoid that if possible). Do I need to do anything different with the yeast cake?
Thanks, in advance, for the advice.
