Using yeast cake left in primary

Post by spuds » Wed Jan 21, 2015 11:21 am

I made a brew 1 week ago using SanFran yeast wlp810. Fermented at 60f. Checked today and is down to 1014, which is about right. Will transfer tomorrow and leave for a week or two. Was going to brew tomorrow. Any probs dumping on used yeast cake. I have done this before with success. What do others think?

It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
