So I racked a holiday ale into secondary today, and decided to save my yeast cake in a mason jar out of the primary. I just filtered the cake through a strainer to keep out the add-ins (orange peel mostly) I am planning on brewing another batch of the same brew. My question was, can I use the same yeast in another different brew? It was a California V yeast from White Labs. What do I need to look out for? Should I have some other fresh yeast on hand in case it doesn't start?
