I'm brewing an IPA now and I plan on brewing the exact same IPA again next week. I plan on brewing on the same day that I rack off primary. I also plan on keeping the yeast cake on the bottom of the fermenter and then racking the new wort on top of that.
My question is that the yeast cake gets to be like 1 inch thick, so is that too much yeast in fermenting the new beer? Also, if I keep the yeast in there and pour the new wort on top will that end up doubling the size of the yeast cake to like 2 inches? Any experiences and thoughts?
