I am trying something new today but not sure if i can do it without screwing up my beer. Last week I made an Aussie Light, today I am transferring it into a secondary and am making a Honey Ale. So....Can I transfer the yeast at the bottom of the Aussie light straight into the Honey Ale, or do i need to 'Wash' the yeast first?
 
You can go either route, but I would just opt for the simplest: dump your new batch of wort right on top of the yeast cake in your primary. Get your wort to proper pitching temperature first, of course!
 
Good idea. I cleaned the primary already, wanted to get the trub out around the sides.

I was curious on the amount I need to pitch also. Do i pitch as much as i can or a certain amount? I don't want to pitch too much....
 
As long as the OG of your honey ale is in the 1.050-1.060 range, about a cup of the slurry should do it. You can store the remainder in sanitized containers in your fridge.
