What to do with my Yeast cake?

[AAIndigo]

I am Lagering a Heineken clone (second brew). I have just moved to my 5 gallon carboy for secondary fermentation and I'm wondering what I should do with the primary Yeast cake that blesses my primary?

Can/should this be re-used?

You can reuse the yeast, I would swirl it with some sterile water, then transfer to a sanitized container that can be sealed. Then refrigerate until you need it.

Just search for washing yeast, several good tutorials on hbt

Thanks for the replies. My search for yeast washing turned this up. Very informative and to the point.
