I brewed an IPA 1 month ago, OG 1.065 that finished to 1.008 FG @ ABV 7,48% with 2 pkgs of rehydrated US-05. 3 weeks in my SS Chronical 7gal and I got great yeast from the dump valve that was well decanted and stayed in the jar for 1 week in my fridge.

This Sunday, I brewed another IPA with an OG of 1.073 that should finished to about 1.016 @ ABV 7.6%. overpitched my slurry a bit from MrMalty calculator just to be sure. (Btw yeast started 10 hours after pitched @65F)

My question are: Would you repitch again the new slurry I will get from my new OG1.073 batch? I'm asking this because I read that you don't want to repitch slurry from High Gravity Beer.
Should I buy new us-05 pkgs right away for the next batch?
 
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about 1.073, especially if you're using the yeast slurry fresh (not storing it for many weeks). I think it would be fine.
