Brewed a Doppelbock that turned out to be a disaster
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=601386
So I am going to brew this again - this time with the CORRECT INGREDIENTS and would like to use the yeast. The fermentation has stopped and so I was going to brew the new batch and rack it on top of the yeast cake after draining that carboy.
Question 1: There's alot of hopps trub in the carboy, should I 'wash' this yeast in the carboy first to remove the hopps?
#2 Can I just rack ontop of the whole shebang? Will the trub affect the flavor?
#3 It's sitting at 55degF right now...should I warm it a little - rack the new wort on to it - and then take it back to 55deg?
Thanks.
