The great thing about Apfelwein is that it leaves a clean yeast slurry without any trub.
I recently bottled my Apfelwein and then racked a Christmas winter warmer on top of the Apfelwein slurry (Nottingham). The Christmas ale took off and finished fermentation in just over 24 hours.
I didn't do any yeast washing. I just racked right on top of the slurry in the carboy. The result was a nice, clean, and face ferment. And I didn't have to sanitize a carboy.
So don't let that Apfelwein slurry go to waste. Rack a beer onto it when you're finished.
