Re-use yeast

[stehowardtlr]

I've heard it mentioned on here that some people re-use the yeast in the bottom of the fermenter.
What's the go with that? Do you drain it out and stir back in or just put the next kit on top of it?
Or simply not bother?

There should be plenty of discussion in the yeast section. I would assume it won't be hard to find.
Do NOT just dump your next batch on top of the left over yeast in the fermenter.
I did that and ruined a batch.

Try that one for a start.

I could try to explain it all here for you, but Wolfy's explanation would put mine to shame, so follow the link above.

I hadn't read Wolfy's thread before, dam excellent.
