I did a 5 gallon batch of cider (just local, fresh pressed, UV treated, fermented on Wyeast Sweet Mead strain), and after a month and change in primary carboy, it's down below 1.00, and I think ready to bottle for dry, carb'ed cider goodness.
Is it a no-no to re-use the lees/yeast in the bottom and just dump a bunch more of the cider into it? I didn't do a secondary for this, it doesn't need to be overpoweringly clear, and the taste is pretty well spot on as far as I can tell.
Once I've bottled, is there any harm in just re-sanitizing my airlock and bung, along with the bottleneck with some starsan and re-filling with more fresh cider?
