Using yeast cake after primary fermentation
«

Hello All, I want to re-use the yeast cake in the primary after racking and and want to know if this is O.K.?
I have a Dunkel fermenting using WL 833 and want to make a Maibock directly on top of that yeast.
I've talked to both Midwest and Northern brewer for advice and they say it should not be a problem.
What are your thoughts/experience using this method?
Thanks everybody!

That's a great plan for a maibock!

I recently asked that very question here:
http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=5512.0
Lots of good info, particularly the link to the Brew Network and a show on the subject. Good way to kill an hour plus driving.

Thanks for the feedback! Oscarvan, I saw your thread before, just wanted confirmation on my plan, I never used a previous yeast cake before. I'm honored for your feedback Denny!
