The Maiden Voyage Pale Ale is coming along nicely, pitched yeast into 1.038 wort Saturday morning, and now looks to be 1.015 or thereabouts, and am keen to get the second batch going.
(The hydro samples taste delicious, too!)
I'm thinking I could cook up the wort on Saturday, and pitch onto the yeast cake of the first after racking it out to secondary, save buying another packet of US-56.
Will this work?
If YES,
Do I have to do anything to the yeast cake?
Can I slop the new wort in, or do I have to rack gently onto the yeast cake?
If NO,
Damn.
END IF
